What is that deleeshus smell? Ahhh, custard cream pie with fresh ferret filling and chocolate crumb crust!

Silver is a cutie pie, Anny.

Nnneeeeaaarrrrmmmm!

Oh yeah, who’s got two wings and leaves otters eating his dust? This guy!

Dear Diary,

Today, Billy, that mean kid, called me a baaaaaad word!


These are Sara H.’s Nigerian Dweeb Dwarf goats; Huckleberry (brown face) and Clementine (all white face).

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! (smack!)

Slip me some flipper, brah! I haven’t seen you since we hatched, man! What was that, like, about a hundred years ago? Totally!

THIS JUST IN: Stackable Giraffes

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay got a holiday present of this baby reticulated giraffe, born on December 27. She’s 5 foot, 7 inches tall and weighs about 127 pounds.


Looks like she’ll fit in nicely, Jill R.

Top Ten Cutest Videos of 2011

Instructions: 1. Press play; 2. Go “awww”; 3. Repeat.

#10: Sleepy Puppy Talking
Sure, a talking porcupine is exotic, but this cute little pup has a bigger vocabulary. As sender-inner Brinke G. recommended, turn up your speakers for this one.

#9: Not Such a Hot Idea
Tired of the outdoor heat, Gus attempts a spur-of-the-moment home remodeling project, but his attempt to install an indoor pool hits a small snag…
#8: Cookie the Tickled Penguin
A number of commenters said that Cookie may have been feeling more amorous than tickled, but his giggling at the end of this video is cute all the same.
#7: Who knew? Pudú!
In which we meet the adorable Pudú, the world’s smallest deer. And then we meet the world’s smallest Pudú. And then we stare at the screen, helplessly drooling.
#5: Kittens! In! Bowls!
Always the innovators in cuteness, our friends the Japanese scientifically settle the question: If you put a bunch of bowls on the ground, will kitties want to get in them?
#4: Caution: Advanced Cuteness Ahead
OK, people, now we move on to the hard stuff. Surely you remember Cricket, the adorable feline fuzzball? Well, look out, here it comes again!
#3: Knut: A Retrospective
In 2011, the world said goodbye to Knut, the polar bear who captured their hearts just four years before, and his caregiver, Thomas Dörflein. Cuteologists paid their respects in this thread.
#2: Sloth’s Inaction
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Can your heart stand the low-speed, pulse-not-pounding excitement of these cute sloths? Thrill as they share a string bean! Gasp as they tip over with a stuffed toy! We’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge!
#1: Just your Run-of-the-mill-kitten-dolphin-snorgle…
What a letdown. Here we go to all the trouble of compiling a list of best videos, and the number one slot goes to the same ol’“kitten plays with dolphin” vid. I hate to complain, but some subjects on the Internet just get done to death, y’know?

Darn, That Was a Dom Pérignon ’85, Too

We just couldn’t end 2011 without a visit from our new best friend, Zooniversity’s quilled quipster, Teddy Bear. Looks like Teddy’s been hitting the corn — and the champagne bottle — a little early this year. Relive Teddy’s past words of wisdom on our Teddy page.

We’re ringing in the new year…

[Swishy swish, clinky clink, chatter chatter, cheer]

Betty’s swinging from the chandelier!

And Marv’s making pointless observations to anyone sitting near.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

Happy New Year!

Happy New Lemur, Patty S.

Cute or Sad: No Depth Percept-shons

Aghnnnn! [Head tilt] Poor baby tortoise Kevin just hasn’t gotten the hang of it yet!

Sender-Inner Haley L. says: “Forgive the camera shaking, I was laughing too hard.”
