Cuteporter Mary H. reveals the latest otter expose’ from the Gulfarium at Fort Walton Beach, Florida!

“Here is a pic of the big otter pile. It was like a feeding frenzy, then we walked away for a few minutes and next thing you know… Boom! Giant, napping otter pile! I like the otter in the corner who is lounging lazy-boy style, head hanging over the edge. These otters were OTTER this world cute! Check out 3:20 on my iPad video where they bring up their ice to show us!”

I Say Old Chap

Verily I have found Tarzan on occasion overly coarse and lacking the diligent diction common to dignified discourse. Many a time I have been moved to hand write a letter of complaint to the Hollywood Committee On Such Matters.

A New Character for Warner Bros. Logo

WarnerBrosPresentLogoIt was a typical June morning when handlers discovered two newborn rare red pandas at Whipsnade Zoo, much to the delight of, oh, the whole world! But, they were so shy, the world had to wait a few months for the babies to peek out, which they finally did in October.

What makes you think I just had a roll in the hay?

(timorous, muffled hedgehog teehee)


Geoffrey tells us his story of fostering Jake, for a friend with over 30 hedgies in her rescue care and who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Jake, a 6 year old African Pygmy Hedgehog, was not happy to be held by a stranger! But Geoffrey says after about 15 minutes Jake’s, “cute, little wet nose peeked out between the prickly quills. It was such a Cute Overload moment!” Very happily, Jake is back with his human mom now who has since beaten the cancer! Yay!

Maybe It Will Be This One…


Wilma says, “Here is a frog nose trying to get a kiss from me to turn into a prince – it worked!”
