You know the old story: Baby bunny is born, mother dies, bunny is adopted by cutie calico kitty, and they live happily ever after. And so it goes in Rotherham, England., where Snaggle Puss the cat has taken Bubbles under her wing paw, grooming the baby bunny to be like any other member of her very own family. All together now: "Awwwww!" ...
Kambiri, which translated from Nigerian means "allow me to join this family," is also the name of an adorable pygmy hippo calf, "the first to be reared by its own mother" at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. Over the course of the next few weeks, visitors will watch little Kambiri adapt to his surroundings under the careful watch of his mother, Petre. What makes the occasion especially heartwarming is knowing that as few as 3,000 Pygmy Hippos remain in the wild today, so at least zoo attendees will get to witness the 13-kilogram cutie as it sprouts quickly. ...
In Colorado Springs, three black bear cubs (three little bears!) found themselves in a sticky situation when they became trapped inside a dumpster, reports KDRO News Channel 13. Locals tried to help but mama bear kept them at bay. Fortunately, the Division of Wildlife came to the rescue. The simple solution? Officers slid a ladder into the container and the cubs crawled out own their own, probably on the lookout for some porridge. (Wishful thinking?) Share ...
Timmy and Tanya's love is the classic story of what happens when a shy boy tortoise meets fake, plastic girl tortoise. At the Tortoise Garden sanctuary in St. Austell, Cornwall, U.K., Timmy was "regularly bullied" by the other boys in the garden, leaving him shy and lonely. Even after he was introduced to other tortoises, they simply disliked him, even starting fights with the guy! But when the sanctuary owner Joy Bloors placed plastic Tanya inside the pen, it was love at first sight. Timmy immediately began to "nuzzle and kiss" her, and continues to play with her every day. In other words, true love exists, even among real and fake tortoises. Never give up hope! Share ...
You might already be aware that, here at Paw Nation, we have a bit of a soft spot for baby sloths. Well, okay, we tend to have a soft spot for baby animals of all kinds, but sloths, with their long, goofy front legs and inquisitive little faces are special. The folks at Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica think so, too -- especially Claire Trimer, the Sanctuary's baby sloth wrangler (and yes, that's what we want to be when we grow up, too!). The Sanctuary houses around 135 sloths, all there for various reasons, but all being cared for and loved just the same. If watching the video below inspires you to learn more about Sloth Sanctuary or the furry darlings that live there, check out Sloth ...
When a butterfly lands, one almost always stops and takes a moment to take in one of the world's most glorious sights, an insect so colorfully splendid and fragile that we all know must not be touched. (C'mon, you know the rules). From the vivid, eye-catching colors of its wings to the calm, slow flapping movement it makes while perched on a shoulder, leaf, or blade of grass, these creatures seem to come from a place of make-believe, where the challenge of seeing so much beauty in one thing is nothing less than remarkable. But add a kangaroo named Skippy into the mix, and you've got yourself a piece of delicious YouTube cake! And, boy oh boy, do we want a slice. CUTE! Share ...
