At the Berlin Zoo, Kathi the hippo gave birth to a bouncing baby calf. We don't want to call her overprotective, per se, but Kathi literally pushes away her other kids, according to the zoologist.

Actually, yes, we will call her overprotective. She won't even let the baby's pop look at him. Although heaven knows he'll be paying for therapy bills for years to come.

So there's a lot of stuff going on around this capybara. We spot roosters, rabbits, and is that a peacock struttin' his stuff inside this gated area?

Passersby don't seem to notice (as they aren't at ground level, like we are, with the camera) that this capybara could seemingly care less. Bring on the noise, bring on the distractions, bring on whatever you want, but this guy's just gonna keep on chewing.

Is that gum in his mouth? Because, man oh man, it's got to be pretty dried out by now!

We all knew this would happen. Eventually, Maru the box cat would tire of trying to squeeze into those tiny spaces because, seriously, how many times can you do that?

Well, good news. Maru has discovered paper, and it's opened up for him (and us) an entirely new world in which the Internet's most curious cat is all like, "What is the deal with this stuff?"

Here's hoping Maru recycles.

Guinea pigs are fickle creatures. Owners know that they are smarter than they may look. They may act one way (for example, like a guinea pig), but some of them are secret geniuses that have mastered the art of the great escape.

If you thought your little guy wasn't able to snap open his cage and run around the premises like a jailbird on the lam, think again. Just because his brains are tiny doesn't mean he's not a prodigy.

Uh oh. Someone made a mess. Who could it be, hmm? The culprit must around here somewhere, having knocked over plants and gotten dirt all over the place. That's just terrible! Who would do such a thing? Certainly not this guy.

Nope, there are no dogs around these parts. But there are two cats, and one of them is in deep trouble. Will his face give it away? (Yes.)

A good lullaby can work wonders. It doesn't matter the type of song, just as long as Mom or Dad is singing it with the right amount of TLC (tender loving care, not the R&B outfit).

Get a look at this dude. He may not necessarily look like a pitch-perfect crooner, but he sure knows how to send an entire litter of puppies on the express train to Dreamland.

Can we get this as an MP3?

British wolf expert (that's a thing?) (yes, that's a thing!) Shaun Ellis loves him some wolves. For years, he slept and lived with wolves at the Combe Martin Wildlife Park in Devon, England, where he was considered the "peacemaker" among the pack.

In this clip, Ellis (aka, the Wolfman) proves that although Cesar Millan may have cornered the dog whispering community, Shaun Ellis is the guy you go to when you want to teach your wolf to howl.

Also, can we borrow that baby wolf? TOO! CUTE!

If you can get yourself to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay anytime soon, be sure to check out the cheetahs. Specifically, this little baby cheetah. Get this: He chirps! Like a bird!

The tiny, spotted cub undergoes round-the-clock care and regular feedings, making him the perfect baby (at least in our book). And, he's now got a canine companion!

Making Katy Perry proud, Mochi celebrates her first birthday some fancy-looking feline-friendly sushi and a sky blue wig that celebrates her kitty power (Katy Perry's own cat, Kitty Purry, surely wouldn't complain either if Mama threw a wig on her head).

Are we crazy, or does Mochi actually look good in that wig? Actually, we've already seen the web site for Kitty Wigs, so seeing one in action kind of ... makes sense.

If a cat's gonna look good, why not start with a wig, right?

t, eat your heart out. This tot is the brains of the family, and at only 22 months old, he's already the one the dog looks to as the Chief Executive, the Master in Command, the Big Shot.

And why shouldn't he? The baby dog whisperer (we'll call him that because we can) has got it made. With a laugh like that, not only is the dog going to love him, but so will everybody else!

Just don't be surprised when the Cuteness Smackdown unfolds. It's only inevitable.

Any cat owner will tell you that their beloved feline certainly knows how to pay attention when it comes to ... holding things. Feathers, yarn, you name it: if you hold it in the air, a cat will not take his eyes off the stuff. It's like candy to a baby, but only if the baby had amazing reflexes.

Someone captured this particular brand of kitty nuttiness on video, and made it into a sort of hipster-y music videos, replete with background music by the Magnetic Fields. It's called "Absolutely Cuckoo Cats," and the title is definitely apropos.

For some people, having a yippy dog can be a dealbreaker. Or just really, really annoying. But one owner of a Shiba Inu in Japan is either brilliant, lucky, or a little bit of both.

She demonstrated for a TV audience her dog's ability to -- get this -- change the volume of his bark based on her command. While we should be reeling from how impressive this is, we're just as equally blown away by how cute it is. Like, look that at that face! That face!

When someone found a baby squirrel left alone in the garden of a bank in Hollywood, Mary Cummins of nearby non-profit rescue group Animal Advocates came to the little guy's aid, bringing him back and giving him the proper care necessary before releasing him into the wild. And by "the wild," we definitely mean Hollywood.

Not everyone thinks rodents -- from rats to squirrels -- are cute, but just try and not coo as this little fella grasps the syringe with his big ol' paws. Go ahead, we dare ya!

At the Seaview Lion Park on the Eastern Cape of South Africa, it looks like two lions, Noam and Tom, sure like to cuddle with their zookeeper. In fact, it's nothing but one big lovefest here, as the two lions lure us into thinking that lions would be great housecats.

I mean, come on, how could you not want to hug those giant, furry necks and be embraced by those precious paws? It's definitely a good reason to bring a lion into the house, right? Right?

Alright, whatever. Fine. We know it's a bad idea. We'll just keep browsing their YouTube channel.

In Deep Creek Lake, Md., a homeowner found a black bear (weighing in at over three hundred pounds) and her babies, nesting beneath their porch in a surprising location for their seasonal hibernation.

The mama bear and her kin were taken to a "substitute den" (who knew?) in a nearby forest, and -- as you'll see in the video below -- they're doing just fine, with one of the little ones obviously looking forward to getting back to sleep.

Aw, we love pugs. They're so cute, the way they just sit there on their butts, paws extended and limp, like they're just waiting to be patted on their heads, with their adorable, smushed round faces...

Oh wait! Wow, scratch that! We love Pomeranians. Loooove them poms! They're so cute, the way they pop out of stuff? And then shake? TOO CUTE!

(P.S. We still love pugs.)

He ain't Maru, but it's fun to see Hobbes, an American cat, try his hand at fitting into small boxes. Stateside, we haven't had as much viral success as Maru with our cats (although there are plenty of memorable feline videos bouncing around YouTube), so it's nice to see Hobbes trying to push his way into the center of the internet zeitgeist.

Or at least that empty box.

We always tear up when we see service men and woman return home to their loved ones. The emotions on both sides can be overwhelming and the family in this video is no different.

Molly, an 8-year-old golden retriever, has clearly been missing her mama, an Air Force Captain, who's been stationed in Afghanistan. This is their airport reunion.
