Beautiful Animals

(thudability warning lights..)
Is there anything cuter than a baby red panda? How about twins? Three-month-old Kit and Kitty make their introduction at their new enclosure at Tierpark Zoo in Berlin. The red panda is a rare mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China.

89 butterflies?

HH, Love dem boobies wit da blue tootsies. Those feet are a shock. The squirrel looks very professional. The bird found a challenging place to land. Fox kit--thuddable. That owl is a doozy, but its feet don't look like bird feet. They look like dog feet. Where are the talons? Great pic, though. Are those butterflies for real? Numbered? I like the picture, but I'm dubious. Thanks, kid.

dj, Today's bunny is a thudder. Any word on Mr. Peaches? The otter is a beauty--two tone. Thanks, kid.

osso, Thanks for the thud alert. I doubt that there's anything cuter than red panda cubs. There might be a few contenders for as cute. Thanks, kid.

Kid:

I happen to like kids... especially galumphing in a field. Sigh.

I though the owl had snow boots on - but I'm guessing it's just feathers. The butterflies are real - but I had to look it up:

Those guys are Diaethria eluina, found from Peru to Bolivia and Brazil.

Thanks, HH. Whoda thunk? I wonder if the caterpillars are numbered. Probably not.

dj, Nuttin' wrong a dirty bunny--except that maybe they're hard to see. Love that eager little otter.

MJ, Amazing. And a gorgeous cat.

tsar, That touches the cockles of my heart. Amorous reptiles. Thanks, kid.

Another rural innocent heads to the big smoke to find fame and fortune!

Being canids, fox young are pups.

Specifically a baby fox is a kit. And, yes, Blue, they are also called pups.

To remark on a photo from yesterday, that lace monitor lizard is living art.
