Heart Addax ax ax ax ax ax

by Meg on May 6, 2008

I love it when I hear about completely new animals—check this out: two endangered "Addax" were born at the Louisville Zoo in the last few weeks. Their mini horn nubules will son be spiraling out of control.

Stop this outrageous cuteness before we all become addax addicts!

Matchingks! I love matchingks!

And YAY for endangered animals getting a helping hand from humans! (Or will the ’nuffers just start talking about how these “poor creatures” are born into “captivity”)?

That is so sweet!!! Little nose-nuzzlings…

They are called “Addax” because when you addax them up, they are much cuter than two little critters usually are!

OMG ADDAX!!!

I love discovering cute species as well. Not sure these kids’ll look great in adulthood, tho.

18 Sarah 05.06.08 at 5:33 pm

I live by the Louisville Zoo! Wheee! I will have to take a peek at them in rl!

I thought someone would say it based on the headline, but are the two addaxes named Mama Leone and Sergeant O’Leary?

“Who needs a house out in Hackensack?”

Subhi: MARMALOPES.

21 Kris 05.06.08 at 6:40 pm

@berthaservant – Good call! I can’t see one of them being called Mr. Cacciatore.

I Luv Lou-a-vul!
My old hometown!
Next time I visit I will have to go see these two. They are beyond cutes. The Louisville Zoo is a great old zoo.

I would like mooooving pictures of these guys, I can almost here the dainty little trot trot of their hooves.
I bet they are cute when they are grown up, like some sort of extra dainty cow.

24 Gail 05.06.08 at 11:30 pm

I totally missed the Billy Joel ref first time ’round. Good one, Meg! Maybe their names are Brenda(r) and Eddie!
