I'm a little princess called Roxy. I just love to explore and play all day.Lots of visitors come over and say "Oh what a cutie!" and I just wag my big tail. I have a good friend (a human baby) who I just snuggle with on my parents' bed. I'm a real teddy bear, only cuter! I'm always happy and super friendly. My favorite thing to do is to eat snow! Oh, how I love snow!

Penguin Chick's Name May Stick Like Glue
by Andrew Bleiman
LeahgatesELMER
where does this rate on the gross bird scale
A Black-footed Penguin chick hatched at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas was named for the glue used to repair its shell, which cracked during incubation.

Elmer, as keepers are temporarily calling the chick, hatched on August 31 and was reared by zoo keepers behind the scenes – a routine practice that allows the Penguins to become accustomed to daily hand feedings.
Elmer’s name may not stick, though, because keepers don’t know yet if the chick is male or female. They’ll determine its gender in a few months.
Though less than months old, Elmer has grown rapidly, as all Penguins do. Elmer’s downy feathers will soon begin to fall out in a process called molting, and they’ll be replaced by the sleek gray feathers of a juvenile Black-footed Penguin. Until those feathers come in and Elmer is able to swim, the young Penguin is segregated from the rest of the flock and most importantly, the exhibit pool. For now, Elmer can see the Penguin flock through a Plexiglas partition.
To maximize genetic diversity among zoo-dwelling birds, Black-footed Penguins are managed by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums Species Survival Plan. Elmer is the second chick for parents Millicent and Puddles.
Native to southern Africa, Black-footed Penguins are listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Populations have decreased dramatically in the last decades as Penguins' prey has been reduced by overfishing, and oil spills have killed thousands of birds.

Teeny Little Sengis Debut At Chester Zoo
by Andrew Bleiman
Two tiny, three-month-old Sengis – also known as Round-eared Elephant Shrews – were seen by visitors to the Chester Zoo for the first time this week.

Weighing just one to two ounces (the same as 10 or 20 pennies), Sengis use their long snouts to sniff out insects to eat. Food is snapped up with quick flicks of the tongue.
With long hind legs, Sengis move by hopping, similar to Rabbits. They scurry through grass and brush, and dash to safety at the smallest signs of danger.
Sengis are related to Manatees, Aardvarks, Hyraxes, and Elephants. Despite their former common name of Elephant Shrew, they are not true Shrews at all. There are 19 species of Sengis, all native to Africa. Little is known about Sengis’ habits, because they are so elusive in the wild.

Meet the National Zoo's Newest (and Prickliest) Baby
by Chris Eastland
LeahgatesGonna go see this nugget
On October 5, Smithsonian’s National Zoo welcomed its newest (and prickliest) baby: Charlotte, the Prehensile-tailed Porcupine!
Photo Credit: Jen Zoon/Smithsonian’s National Zoo
Whenever the zoo welcomes a baby animal, keepers work closely with veterinarians and nutrition staff to ensure newborns are healthy. For Charlotte, this meant regular weigh-ins to ensure that she was nursing and gaining weight. Vets gave her a clean bill of health during her first wellness exam, but then she began to lose weight. The animal care team determined that Charlotte was not able to nurse properly and was therefore not receiving enough milk.
The zoo’s nutrition staff created a formula using a mixture of puppy milk replacer, exotic milk replacer, and egg whites, which resembled the composition of North American Porcupine milk. Once they were able to express milk from Charlotte’s mother, nutrition staff compared it to the formula to ensure Charlotte was getting the nutrition she needed.
To manage Charlotte’s dietary and medical needs, zoo vets surgically inserted an esophagostomy tube and fed her formula every three hours, around the clock, for five days. The feeding tube was removed on November 11 because Charlotte was consistently eating all of her diet by mouth. Today, at 2.8 pounds, Charlotte is healthy and developing normally.
Native to the forests of South America, Prehensile-tailed Porcupines feed on leaves, flowers, and tree bark. Their prehensile (grasping) tails are not covered in spines and help these animals climb about in trees. When threatened, these rodents curl into a ball, erecting their spines to appear larger and more intimidating. They cannot shoot their spines (nor can any Porcupine), but the spines are loosely attached and can become painfully embedded in an attacker.

Yak Calf Debuts at Hellabrunn Zoo
by Andrew Bleiman
Leahgatessrs brows
Hellabrunn Zoo, in Munich, Germany, welcomed a new male domestic Yak. Pedro was born September 10, and he is the first offspring of four-year-old mother, Kat, and two-year-old father, Norbu.
Photo Credits: Tierpark Hellabrunn / Bihler Photography
The Yak (Bos grunniens or Bos mutus) is a long-haired bovid found throughout the Himalaya region of southern Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia and Russia. Most Yaks are domesticated (Bos grunniens). The small, vulnerable population of wild Yaks are ‘Bos mutus’.
The Yak may have diverged from cattle at some time in the past, and there is a suggestion that it may be more closely related to the bison that to the other members of its designated genus ‘Bos’.
The Yak is the largest native animal in their range. Wild Yak adults stand about 5.2 to 7.2 feet (1.6 to 2.2 m) tall at the shoulder and weigh 672 to 2,205 lbs (305 to 1,000 kg). Domesticated Yaks are much smaller, males weighing 770 to 1,280 lbs (350 to 580 kg) and females 496 to 562 lbs (225 to 255 kg).
Wild Yaks typically have black or dark brown hair, with a greyish muzzle. Wild Yaks with golden coloring are known as ‘Wild Golden Yak’ and are considered endangered in China. Domesticated Yaks have a wider range of coat coloring, with some individuals being white, grey, brown, roan or piebald. Hellabrunn’s new calf, Pedro, inherited the white coloring of his father, instead of the black his mother exhibits.
Gestation for Yaks lasts between 257 and 270 days. The female finds a secluded spot to give birth, but the calf is able to walk within about ten minutes of birth, and the pair soon rejoins the herd. Females of both the wild and domestic forms typically give birth only once every other year. Calves are weaned at one year and become independent shortly thereafter.
Wild Yaks usually form herds of ten to thirty individuals. Their diet consists largely of grasses and sedges. They also eat a smaller amount of herbs, shrubs, mosses, and occasionally lichen.
The wild Yak (Bos mutus) is classified as “Vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is inferred that the species has declined over 30% the last 30 years, based on direct observations, decline in range, and continued threats to their habitat.

New Brazilian Tapir Steps Out at Chester Zoo
by Andrew Bleiman
Keepers at Chester Zoo have announced the arrival of a rare Brazilian Tapir.
The female calf, which has not yet been named, was born early in the morning of December 5 to experienced parents Jenny and Cuzco.
Weighing just a few kilograms at birth, she is expected to more than double in size within just two to three weeks.
Photo Credits: Chester Zoo
Young Tapirs are born with spots and stripes all over their bodies, heads, and legs. But they lose these patterns in the first year of their life.
Tim Rowlands, curator of mammals, said, “With her brown coat currently covered in white stripes and spots, our new Tapir calf resembles a little humbug on legs at the moment. Lowland Tapirs lose this patterning over time but, for a newborn, it’s a great form of camouflage, as predators will often mistake young calves for specks of sunlight on the forest floor.
“At just a few days old she is tiny, but Tapirs grow very quickly and we expect she will double in weight in just a matter of weeks. She already has bundles of energy and is quite demanding on mum in particular, but Jenny is very experienced and knows exactly what to do.
“We hope that our new arrival will be another great ambassador for the species and their cousins in the wild who, sadly, fall victim to a number of devastating threats that has resulted in a huge loss of wildlife across South America.”
The Brazilian, or Lowland Tapir, (Tapirus terrestris) is one of five species in the tapir family. The Lowland Tapir is the largest native terrestrial mammal in the Amazon. They can be found near water in the Amazon Rainforest and River Basin in South America, east of the Andes.
Lowland Tapirs are excellent swimmers but also move quickly over land. They feed on a diet of fruits, berries, and leaves. Their closest relatives are horses and rhinoceroses.
They reach sexual maturity in their third year. Females have a gestation period of 13 months (390 to 395 days) and typically have one offspring every two years. Newborns weigh about 15 pounds and will double their weight in the first 14 to 21 days. The young are fully weaned in about four to six months from birth.
Brazilian Tapirs are listed as “Vulnerable” on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. They are either completely absent or severely depleted from much of their historic range in South America, with more than a 30% decline in the wild population over the last 30 years. Their main threats stem from habitat loss and huge hunting demands for its meat and its hide, which is used to make leather products.
Chester Zoo supports conservation projects in Brazil that are researching the different behavior patterns and movements of Tapirs in the wild and hope to play a major role in safeguarding the species for future generations.

#10 Cutest Photo of 2015: Bears…Or Puppehs? YOU Decide.

(Bored Panda.)
#9 Cutest Photo of 2015: omg
Are these two of THE most stunning kitteh pix you’ll EVAH come across, or what? “Hi, I thought I needed to send this to you because, well, you’re Cute Overload and this could possibly be the cutest kitten to ever grace the face of the earth,” writes Linda S. “It’s my foster baby, Addie, when she was 6 weeks old. She and her sister Scout went back to the shelter Friday. I’m really going to miss these two. I’ve had the joy of them since they were 4 weeks old.”
[*Note: We responded to Linda’s email asking for details- the location, etc. No word back yet. -Ed.]
UPDATE! “I foster for the Animal Humane Society in St. Paul, MN. Addie and her sister, Scout, were feral kittens and mom was hit by a car. :( Luckily, they found the kittens and brought them to the AHS. They kept them for about a week and I’ve had them for 3-but I get them for 1 more week. Scout didn’t make the weight for surgery today so they had to come back home with me…darn. They should be available for adoption about Oct. 11th.”
#8 Cutest Photo of 2015: ResQte Of The Week III: Goats With Coats (And Some Cows)
THIS JUST IN from Meredith T. at Farm Sanctuary! “The temperature has been in the single digits and negative degrees at our New York sanctuary lately, and that means one thing: GOATS IN COATS! And all kinds of farm animals in all manner of winter-wear! It’s the Cutest Sight Ever and I thought Cute Overload readers might like to revel in the adorableness.”
Yes, they would.
#7 Cutest Photo of 2015: Arlo & Jasper
“Here are Arlo and Jasper, 15 week old Burmese cross brothers from the UK,” write Stephen & Liz. “They love nothing more than playing and cuddling together but unfortunately :( Jasper managed to fracture his leg two weeks ago. They are absolutely inseparable, so sweet natured and call to each other when Jasper is on bed rest. He’s on the road to recovery :) now after having surgery and can’t wait to play with his brother again!”
#6 Cutest Photo of 2015: Introducing…Rule Of Cuteness #60!
Gina S. says: “I have reviewed the ROCs and find there is nary a word about bath-time, excessive hygiene, nor even re: wet animals/general wetness, bath-induced or other. Therefore, in honor of my new grand-dog Florence, I would like to recommend the following:
“If bath-time reduces your total body matter by up to 50%, that’s cute.”
Consider it DONE! BEFORE, above. AFTER, below. “Photos of Florence by her new parents, my son and his GF. Florence is a rescue Llasa-Poo. She received a bath on Day One. Just because. Florence will undoubtedly get her social media sites in order soon — as soon as g-ma gets the dresses, sweateuws (sp? couldn’t find in Glossary*!) and Halloween costume(s) ready.”

Give ’em an inch…and you can bet they’ll take a mile.
(Bored Panda.)
#4 Cutest Photo of 2015: ResQte 3: We KNEW Clark Was Really Superman Super Kitteh!
“I volunteer with TAAG (Transylvania Animal Alliance Group) and we have a very special kitten in our care that we think people would love to see. This is Clark, and he was found paralyzed at 4 weeks old. He was taken in and has quickly become our little mascot because he has the most playful, fun personality and he never lets his limitations get him down. Clark is in a handmade mobility cart made for him by his foster mom and he zooms all over playing like any other kitten. Clark has gotten over one million views this week on Imgur and wants to keep his mission of showing the world that disabled pets are just as fun as every other going!” -Laura K.
[*Note: Here’s a link to Clarkster’s GoFundMe to help with his medical bills. -Ed.]

#2 Cutest Photo of 2015: A What? An….Ezo Momonga?
Well, of course it is. Classic Big J Action, naturally. The Bored Panda article says that these little crazies (sorta a Flying Sqwerl) can only be found on the island of Hokkaido. Which works for me.
Photos originally by Pop Shiretoko-san.
#1 Cutest photo of 2015: Ladies & Gentlemen, We Present…Wally Von Jelly Beans
Wally’s her name (we checked into this)—The Qte is her game. KB sent these in and says, “This 2.5 week old cutie pie was rescued Saturday! (She’s now a happy bottle baby at a loving, local foster home.) Her mom is feral (wild) and gave birth to a litter of kittens in someone’s attic. In the process of moving them to a new location, this little girl was dropped by her mom down inside a kitchen wall where the mom couldn’t reach her. The retired homeowner tore a hole in his kitchen wall to rescue the kitten …but mom was long gone. So we stepped in to take over.” (This is not my photo or my text. The good folks at The Cat House on the Kings asked me to pass it on to you.”)

Greyhounds. With Sweateuws.
by Brinke
Goodness, had to make sure and get the “Sweateuw” spelling right. Anyway, a lady in the UK named Jan Brown decided to start making them for ResQte Greyhounds back in 2008.
In 2012, she quit her job to knit fulltime, and started Knitted With Love.
Quoting the original Design Taxi story, Brown says “Greyhounds have very thin fur so they really feel the cold during the winter so my gifts help keep them warm during walks. There are so many dogs that won’t be rehomed this Christmas so for many of them it’s the only gift they will get.”
