Oh Hai. Just stopping by to OWN YOUR SOUL

Don’t mind me. This is just an FYI that your soul is just being silently sucked out. Shouldn’t even hurt.

Nice submishe, Johanna S. You can almost see the wobbly leg action.

    It’s a baby thingie!

  2. Anna says:

    Are they related to antelopes, or deer, and the like?

    I want to feed it!

  3. rblaude says:

    Why does it feel so good to have your soul sucked out by a baby thingie?

    Oh who cares, just relax and enjoy… I love the fuzziness…

  4. dia says:

    Is that a deer? An antelope?

  5. dia says:

    Oops, someone already asked that.

  6. elizabeth. says:

    i will take ten of these please, in the super-tiny variety…

    oh, what the heck…make it fifty! i love the chomp-able ears and large eyes combo.

  7. Anna says:

    Dia: It says on the original flikr page it’s a klipspringer..?

  8. Longtail says:

    AAAAH! I want to give him a bottle and snorgle him and let him neeble my fingers! *death by cute*

  9. Anna says:

    Yet more oops :P

  10. Longtail says:

    BTW, it’s a baby Klipspringer. A small African antelope.

  11. Anna says:

    Thanks for clarifying, longtail :) I never saw anything antelope-related soo cute! I think it’s the curve between the forehead and the nose…

  12. Tina Rhea says:

    I’m sorry we can’t see the feet– klipspringers have TINY hooves for jumping around on South African rock ledges and such.
    At first I thought it might be a baby dik-dik, which would be, what, a few inches tall? Klipspringers are a bit larger.

  13. Sweetpea says:

    I so like how you can just see the faintest bit of belly fuzziness.

  14. Leah says:

    The headline reminds of South Park’s Woodland Critter Christmas.

  15. Vicki says:

    Klipspringer?

    I’ll just stick with thingy. X3;;;

  16. Vicki says:

    Er, thingie. Gotta speel it write. X3;

    Thank goodness my heart still can still plunk plunk after looking at this baby

  27. Tor says:

    Come now, this beebee only shops at Tarschzay.

  28. Aubrey says:

    Emerging from his space capsule, the ‘Prosh In Space’, Astronaut K. Springer takes his first tentative steps on an alien planet.

    Finding no other living thing, yet detecting in the atmosphere the elements conducive to Cute, he is able to claim the land for The Dream Office, and all its denizens.

  29. AlbertaGirl says:

    He is so cute that he is actually causing me physical pain. I guess this is what “Cute Overload” feels like!

  30. halla_w says:

    aaawwwsome. eyes like ostrich’s eyes.

  31. Adrija says:

    if it’s a boy, and it doesn’t have a name, Bambi would be VERY appropriate.
    i really DO feel as if my soul is being sucked out.
    so sweet!

  32. berthaslave says:

    That fur looks extra snorgable. Want!

  33. sharon says:

    If you click on the link under the photo and then click on “zoo scavenger hunt”, there’s enough cuteness to make your head explode. Especially the Mom and baby Klipspringer photo and the giraffe tongue action

  34. sharon says:

    I also googled it and here’s what Wikipedia says

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klipspringer

  35. Jennifer says:

  38. Theresa says:

    A Klipspringer is a leetle animal that Springs among the Klips. Can’t you just see him go? Spring! Spring! Spring!

  39. Theresa says:

  40. Theresa says:

    “SHE THINKS I’M CUTE!!!”

  44. Michele says:

    So sorry, most of my soul was sucked out by the evil bebeh bun a while back, but this dewd can have the rest >:)

  45. jen says:

  47. chanpon says:

    No way! So impossibly tiny, fuzzy, and wobbly-looking! Eeeekkkk! *soul successfully sucked*

  48. Arachnophile_grrl says:

    We are all doomed, wonderfully, blissfully DOOMED!

    *I’m going to sing the DOOM song now* – GIR

  49. blair says:

    *splodopop*

  50. carrie says:

    Would you believe that I felt my soul leaving my body BEFORE I had a chance to read the headline? Klip’s little nose needs the smallest of keesses.

  51. Arachnophile_grrl says:

    Well…

    I for one WELCOME our new Ungulate Overlord. ;p

  52. pyrit says:

    OHHH, James Brown got reincarnated as a klipspringer. Nifty.

  53. bflmar says:

    Schlooorp!!!

    Soul gone. Don’t care. Awwwwwwwwwwwww….

  54. rblaude says:

    I am writing a horribly boring, horribly long paper for school, and I keep coming back to Klippy for comfort. Or maybe it’s because he has my soul.

    Either way, perhaps I’ll just copy and paste him into my paper…. Klippy has the power to soften the heart of even the hardest law professor…

  55. elbowgeek says:

    What a cutie pie! I too wish to hold him and love him and call him George.

    And Longtail: See you here in Bermuda next spring!

    (By way of explanation, the young tourist lasses who used to frequent these shores are called Longtails due to their traditional appearance in the spring, like the real longtail *grin*)

  56. Sami says:

    OMG! I loooooves eet! I might find a pic of my doggy going all like “baroo?”

  57. amaretto_bunny says:

    With these two darling eyes and this cute little nose!

    (points to anybody who knows what that’s from)

  60. lauowolf says:

    People, his ears are fuzzy.
    Must nom on fuzzy ears.

  61. liz says:

    back yard with my little baby lambie.
    COL is even better at home I’m thinking.

  62. taj says:

    From Wiki: “They have such small feet that all four of its hooves can fit on an American dime at one time.”

    OMGBBQPONIES!!!111!!ELEVENTY!!!

  69. Kiragirl says:

  70. Daphne Moss says:

    Baby: Life-threateningly cute, fuzzy and vulnerable.
    Baby and mommy together:

    ..head … sploded…

    Critters that stay cute for whole life: Priceless

  71. TrinketsMom says:

    Merv, dik dik: teensy hornage, kohled eyes, about the size of fox terriers.

  72. Paula says:

    The caption on Flickr:

    “The baby Klipspringer, whom I love with a big, squealy love. Less than 24 hours old and already working the crowd.”

  73. SPB says:

    Anyone else hear that sucking sound?

  74. Theo says:

    Sorry, that was probably me. Trying to get this last little bit of mocha sludge out from the bottom of this travel mug… ehhhn…
