Cute Overload reader Eimear sure gets around. A couple of months back it was Turtles In Singapore, and now it’s Monkeys in Bali. “I recently visited the monkey forest in Bali and thought some of the pictures might be cute enough to submit to Cute Overload,” she says. “Especially the baby monkeys! Even though they tried to steal my phone and things, it was still an adorable experience.”
Her extensive travels are chronicled here, and her blog comments about each photo below are in the hovers.
Another Friday late afternoon here on the Left Coast, and you know what that means- we’re tossing another TGIF out there, starring Ginger The Norwegian Forest Ginger Kitteh. (First spotted here.) From Renée Z.
The Best Friends Animal Society in Salt Lake City (also an L.A. location) has taken in 500+ kittens in the last two months, and they need homes!
“Sometimes you have to go Cute to raise awareness about an important issue. We’re thrilled the campaign is getting so much attention and hope that we’re inspiring people to take action,” said Eric Rayvid of BFAS in an email to Cute Overload.
“If you’re looking for a new pet, we urge you to adopt.”
“If you can’t take a new pet into your home, volunteer at your local humane society.”
“If you don’t have the time, donations are always needed to take care of homeless pets in your area.”
“At Best Friends Animal Society, we really believe that together we can Save Them All!” [Bravo. -Ed.]

Freddy Frogster wraps up the week for us here at C.O.! Now, many of you have a holiday Monday in the U.S., but we’ll be here for all your Cute Needs! ‘Nite everyone! (Photo from Imgur.)
This always makes me happy, because the source video shows that the shark actually wanted this. It experienced it once and then kept coming back for more petting.
(also, because i’ve seen comments about this: the shark is able to breathe while still, not all species need to be in motion to pass water through their gills. If you look closely, you can see its gills pumping)
I would very much like if more people would pet sharks and be good to them instead of trying to hurt them please
Sharks are very lovely and should get pettings like these more :)
Nearly 20 years ago, a five-metre-long crocodile laid severely injured on the bank of the Parasmina River in Costa Rica after being shot by a farmer. Luckly for that crocodile, a kind local named Chito couldn’t bear to let him die. Chito rescued Pocho, as he called the croc, and nursed him back to health.
When Pocho had regained his strength, Chito took him back along the river to release him. But Pocho didn’t want to be left behind, and followed Chito home! With permission from the Minister for Environment and the help of a vet, Chito looked after Pocho for nearly two decades. Pocho passed away in 2011.
