Some animals are just TOO cute!

Richard Tesore, head of SOS Rescate Fauna Marina, feeds a female baby La Plata dolphin (Pontoporia Blainvillei) in the sea off Piriapolis, 90 km east of Montevideo, Uruguay. The dolphin, with its umbilical cord still attached, was found beached near Montevideo and was sent to the NGO. 

Delphi and her baby, Doerrte, swim in Europe’s biggest dolphinarium at the zoo in Duisburg, Germany. The little bottlenose is one of three babies born at the same time last month at the zoo.

This is one ROUND robin!

Knitters have been helping out penguins affected by a recent oil spill in New Zealand.  After a plea went out, they were apparently inundated with sweaters (which keep the penguins from preening and ingesting the toxic oil) and in no time at all received more than were needed.

NOT cute!  An oil-slicked Little Blue Penguin in Tauranga, NZ.

AWWW...

Maybe not exactly cute - but interesting!  Fearless Rang Rang ants dance on a lizard’s head in Indonesia. This lizard must already have eaten its dinner - or the ants crawling over its head are very brave or extremely stupid. The amusing scene of peaceful co-existence was captured by photographer Teguh Santosa, 49, at his home in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Reality TV.. apparently everyone’s doing it.
