Specialization is for Insects.
This little (figuratively speaking) baby elephant is named Baylor, and he lives at the Houston Zoo. When he was two weeks old the elephant care team got him a little baby pool and let him take his first bath.
As you can see, he kind of liked it! After he got a little older they let him hop in the the big pool, but this was a good way to let him have some fun and get adjusted before going into the deep end.

Ok, this one is for the ladies. Every once in a while I find something overwhelmingly cute for you, and today is no exception.
Cookie is a “Little Penguin” and the mascot of the Zoo Bird House at the Cincinnati Zoo. Apparently he REALLY likes to be tickled… Enjoy!
The Guinness Book of World Records named the Honey Badger the most fearless animal on earth. After you watch this crazy little bugger in action you’ll definitely know why! This psychotic little rodent will take on the deadliest animals on earth without fear.
In fact, I would say that this sucker’s “fear circuit” is definitely broken. Watch and see!

I pulled this one straight out of the extremely interesting but completely useless information repository.
Here we have an African man in the Kalahari desert who is hunting, or on vacation, or whatever! It’s not important! What IS important is that he spotted some baboons and he definitely knows how to get them to give up their secret watering hole! (Plus, monkeys are so cute aren’t they? I know someone is going to tell me, “It’s not a monkey! It’s a baboon! Totally different animal!” …shut your trap!)
Now, at first I was hoping there was going to be some interrogation or Chinese water torture, or something! But I guess he was all out of electricity, truth serum, and Nazis. Still… the giant ant hill was a nice touch.
I just wonder how long it took for someone to figure out the psychology of this process and then perfect it. Fascinating.

I know what you’re thinking. It’s just a squirrel! Yeah, but look at this guy! He was just hanging out, lounging in the tree. Cute as hell.
Karen R. passed this little gem to me the other day, and she came into my office at work and was like… “you have to check out the extreme sheep herding!” I was like, “WTF?” But she was like, “just open the link I sent you.”
So, without having any idea of what the heck to expect, I blindly did as I was told, and was then rewarded for my faith with the following amazing video of… sheep herding. Enjoy!

You know, there are an awful lot of things that we can be worrying about now days. Take the economy for example. Today, the market made a nearly 7% recovery in one day! But I’m worried that it will make a 4% dive during the week just to even things out.
But you know who isn’t worrying about things? Dolphins. Yep. They just swim around all day and eat fish, and play games. And just to prove it to you, here is a nice relaxing video of a dolphin playing with bubbles. You can thank me later…

I first learned about this heart touching story over on The Australian. It seems that a group of fire fighters, who had been battling a massive raging inferno, responsible for killing at least 180 people, came upon a dehydrated and injured little Koala in a burned out area of the forest.
One of the firemen, Dave, got some water and approached the animal to try and care for it. Amazingly, she accepted his help, and he was able to give her 3 bottles of water. This story ends well, although as many as one million animals are suspected to have perished in the blaze.

My wife loves bunny rabbits. Don’t get me wrong, I like them too, but she really, really loves them. We used to have a pet rabbit for 5 years. He was great, and his name was Casey. Casey the friendly fat bunny.
Anyway, I came across these amusing bunny videos, and decided to share them. Mainly for my wife… but you guys can watch them too. ;-) By the way, that photo there is Herman the giant german bunny. He has his own MySpace page and over 1,500 friends! Which makes him much more popular than me.
