@ossobuco,
That lion is still a baby. Maybe not a cub but definitely a juvenile. Doesn't mean he can't take a nice bite. Cute as the dickens though.

Golden retriever (this dog looks like my late lamented cousin Timmy):
Philis, Killdeer get their name from the sound they make. It sounds like they're saying, "Kill deer." I don't know how the deer population responds to this.
I love how that bird looks. A face not only a mother can love. What is it? Doesn't matter. I love dat face.

Bad hair day? HA! This poor guy is having a bad hair life!
A koala joey hangs on a toy koala during a weighing procedure at the zoo in Duisburg, Germany, on Friday. The koala baby, which weighs 1.1 pounds, has yet to be named.
Letty, These little guys are amazing. Cute as they may seem, I don't want one. I was watching one of my nature shows. Two baby Tasmanian devils kept attacking their mother with such vigor that she decided to leave. I guess it's an approach to making those kids independent.
