Oh Hai. Just stopping by to OWN YOUR SOUL

by Meg on November 18, 2007

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 11.18.07 at 2:47 am

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

I want to feed it!

3 rblaude 11.18.07 at 2:47 am

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 11.18.07 at 2:48 am

Is that a deer? An antelope?

5 dia 11.18.07 at 2:49 am

Oops, someone already asked that.

6 elizabeth. 11.18.07 at 2:49 am

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 11.18.07 at 2:49 am

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

8 Longtail 11.18.07 at 2:51 am

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

9 Anna 11.18.07 at 2:51 am

Yet more oops :P

10 Longtail 11.18.07 at 2:52 am

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

11 Anna 11.18.07 at 2:55 am

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 11.18.07 at 2:57 am

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 11.18.07 at 2:58 am

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

14 Leah 11.18.07 at 3:01 am

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

15 Vicki 11.18.07 at 3:10 am

Klipspringer?

I’ll just stick with thingy. X3;;;

16 Vicki 11.18.07 at 3:11 am

Er, thingie. Gotta speel it write. X3;

17 Robin 11.18.07 at 3:26 am

Oh. My. God. That is seriously one of the cutest things I have EVAR seen. I want one!

18 Theo 11.18.07 at 3:27 am

…”Wal-Mart on a Saturday night”?? Meg, d00d, you & Sparky seriously need to try & have an eentsybeet more fun on your weekends.

19 Theo 11.18.07 at 3:30 am

We’ve had klipspringers before, btw…

It’s getting to be that time of year again. Ayup.

20 Anna 11.18.07 at 3:34 am

Wow, they’re so unusual looking! Those distinctive eyes, like they really overdid they liner ;)

21 Marianne 11.18.07 at 3:40 am

22 Merri 11.18.07 at 3:44 am

23 Plum 11.18.07 at 3:45 am

This one has single-handedly overloaded my cute lobe. D:

24 Theo 11.18.07 at 3:47 am

Correction, Plum — bebeh Klips has done so NO-handedly.

25 bugmom 11.18.07 at 4:05 am

26 leah b. 11.18.07 at 4:21 am

Death by extreme cuteness, where is a bottle of milk indeed what a little baby.
Thank goodness my heart still can still plunk plunk after looking at this baby

27 Tor 11.18.07 at 4:27 am

Come now, this beebee only shops at Tarschzay.

28 Aubrey 11.18.07 at 5:06 am

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 11.18.07 at 6:29 am

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

30 halla_w 11.18.07 at 6:33 am

aaawwwsome. eyes like ostrich’s eyes.

31 Adrija 11.18.07 at 7:10 am

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 11.18.07 at 7:20 am

That fur looks extra snorgable. Want!

33 sharon 11.18.07 at 10:23 am

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 11.18.07 at 10:25 am

I also googled it and here’s what Wikipedia says

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

35 Jennifer 11.18.07 at 11:45 am

36 lymareck 11.18.07 at 12:19 pm

Who needs a soul? When you can have His Royal Majesty Wobblie Knees The First.

37 Subhangi 11.18.07 at 1:09 pm

AAAAAAAAGH! Dem bebeh Klipz again!!!

38 Theresa 11.18.07 at 1:33 pm

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

39 Theresa 11.18.07 at 1:36 pm

Theo, this little Klippy is missing the powdered sugar!

40 Theresa 11.18.07 at 1:42 pm
41 Eater of Shades 11.18.07 at 2:48 pm

43 Kitteh 11.18.07 at 3:26 pm

“SHE THINKS I’M CUTE!!!”

44 Michele 11.18.07 at 3:30 pm

45 jen 11.18.07 at 3:58 pm

46 Cathy 11.18.07 at 4:04 pm

“more-soul sucking than Wal Mart…….” OMG, that is HILARIOUS!!!

47 chanpon 11.18.07 at 4:10 pm

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

48 Arachnophile_grrl 11.18.07 at 4:25 pm

Nothing will stand in the way of this soul-eating-knobularkneed-prince-of-adorable-DARKNESS!

We are all doomed, wonderfully, blissfully DOOMED!

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

49 blair 11.18.07 at 4:30 pm

i….am….pwnered….

*splodopop*

50 carrie 11.18.07 at 4:31 pm

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 11.18.07 at 4:34 pm

Well…

I for one WELCOME our new Ungulate Overlord. ;p

52 pyrit 11.18.07 at 5:15 pm

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

53 bflmar 11.18.07 at 5:36 pm

Schlooorp!!!

Soul gone. Don’t care. Awwwwwwwwwwwww….

54 rblaude 11.18.07 at 6:26 pm

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 11.18.07 at 6:57 pm

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 11.18.07 at 8:05 pm

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

57 amaretto_bunny 11.18.07 at 8:27 pm

My soul. He has it.

58 Sarah 11.18.07 at 8:40 pm

Klipspringers frikkin’ RULE.

59 mitchell 11.18.07 at 9:03 pm

I’m cute, yes it’s true,
I really can’t help it but what can I do?
When you’re cute, it just shows,
With these two darling eyes and this cute little nose!

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

60 lauowolf 11.18.07 at 9:21 pm

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

61 liz 11.18.07 at 9:22 pm

this will go directly in my
back yard with my little baby lambie.
COL is even better at home I’m thinking.

62 taj 11.18.07 at 9:56 pm

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!!!

63 fyre 11.19.07 at 12:04 am

*thunk*
-ded-

65 riolinda 11.19.07 at 5:31 am

66 Kara 11.19.07 at 5:37 am

mitchell ~ If there’s someone out there who doesn’t know what that’s from, they need an intervention STAT. No one can live without the Animaniacs!

67 luvinmalssomuch 11.19.07 at 2:53 pm

Awwwwwwwwww!

68 Kiragirl 11.19.07 at 4:42 pm

1 for you,

69 Kiragirl 11.19.07 at 4:43 pm

Merv,
what category are you in?

70 Daphne Moss 11.19.07 at 7:54 pm

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

..head … sploded…

Critters that stay cute for whole life: Priceless

71 TrinketsMom 11.19.07 at 9:53 pm

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

72 Paula 11.19.07 at 10:20 pm

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 11.20.07 at 5:22 am

Anyone else hear that sucking sound?

74 Theo 11.21.07 at 1:46 pm

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