Some extreme cuteness, courtesy of someone on CPAaG on Ravelry:

ZooBorns. It's what it sounds like. Baby zoo animals.

If I thought it were at all possible (maybe in some kind of alternative cartoon like universe), I would want a baby giraffe. The baby giraffe is my favorite. But the Tawny Frogmouths (a type of bird) are awfully cute, too. As is the baby penguin. And the baby anteater.

(Edited to add: oh, noes, they have a baby tapir on there. I am dead from the cute. [Tapirs are one of my favorite "unusual" animals and the babies are absolutely adorable]).

In other animal news, I've decided I can never again eat calamari (as much as I love it). Squid and octopi are too smart to be eaten; I feel too much sympathy for an animal that plays with Rubik's Cube and that will shoot a jet of water to short out an annoying spotlight. And supposedly they are as smart as dogs. (Which, yes, I know, are eaten in some cultures.)

Cows and chickens, I will still eat. Cows are pretty dumb, at least in my limited experience, and chickens are not only dumb, they can be MEAN.

Pigs are pretty smart too, so I do feel a teensy bit bad about eating them if I think about it but I absolutely cannot give up bacon. From now on I'm going to try not to learn too much about food animals. :-)
