Cute Overload! :)

Mar 08, 2006

Dude, I'm the second Kiwi born in the history of the Smithsonian, and I'm hella sweet!

So lemme see those ears—Any small worms or berries in there?

Thanks, Stephen D and Michele L.

Awwww - can we have a platypus, too? Pleeeaaasse?!: E. Collison; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:10 AM

ooooh, it's a hairy egg with feet and eyes and a beak. . . too cute!: A thinker; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:25 AM

One thing we will probably NEVER see posted on Cute Overload: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4785482.stm: A thinker; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:28 AM

Really not cute.: Snapszen; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:29 AM

Wait before we go for the platypus I must spread my wisdom of weird facts... (please pardon my facination with weird animal facts, I can't help it) ...did you know that the platypus is one of only two poisonous mammels? It has dangerous back toes apparently so becareful you footsie lovers. (Yes I know very bizzare but you should hear what a certain turtle can do!) Now back to the kiwi... hmmm I have to go with odd ... very odd.: M-; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:45 AM

FURRY LOBSTER MADNESS! :D Oh, and the kiwi was well-described by A thinker :) (3 hours of sleep, but the endorphins are in overdrive! woooooo!): hashi; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:46 AM

good to hear, hashi :): A thinker; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:47 AM

Oh, that little kiwi is adorable! I love kiwis. I love how it looks like they have no wings (they do -- just very stubby and well-hidden). They're also the only bird with nostrils on the *end* of its beak! (so it can snuffle up buggies!) I also like how the kiwi looks like a kiwi fruit.: Courtney; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:53 AM

Lobsters can be cute... My friend has these adorable lobster finger puppets. They aren't fluffy... (well, that one lobster was fluffy..) but there is something pitiful about them. Case and point... the episode of the Simpson's where Homer freed the lobsters. lol!: Erica E.; | Mar 08, 2006 at 10:57 AM

'Nuf chitchat: LOOK at that Foot to Body ratio!!!: Tilli; | Mar 08, 2006 at 11:04 AM

A Thinker: I saw the pic for that lobster this morning and all I could say was EW!!! Frrrreeakky lookin'!!! Now, to the Kiwi, he looks so shy...someone should cuddle him and make him feel better...Me, I'm a cat person, so someone else should do it...Otherwise I'm liable to try and play with the ears and feet... *grin*: StormCat; | Mar 08, 2006 at 11:26 AM

Now that's what I call feet! So adorably cute... :-): sheepie; | Mar 08, 2006 at 11:34 AM

YOooooaaaaaaawwwww! How cutie! I think most birds are super cute, especially right out of the egg!: Beauregard; | Mar 08, 2006 at 12:07 PM

I don't think I had seen a picture of a kiwi since elementary school.... I didn't recognize it till I read the headline. I didn't know they were so adorable! This one doesn't look birdlike to me; more like a rodent! I want to cuddle it.: Terris Branborough; | Mar 08, 2006 at 12:09 PM

aw! so adorible. i am SOOOO enthusiactic: binky; | Mar 08, 2006 at 12:16 PM

Its definitely cuddly but cuddling a kiwi is perhaps not such a good idea. Not with that beak. I heard they could even win a fight against a cat!: Fhernhachen; | Mar 08, 2006 at 01:13 PM

poor li'l guy looks so bewildered, id crisis...like he wants to disappear... and those feet! kiwipedia.: jaypo; | Mar 08, 2006 at 01:15 PM

Jaypo: LOL. Very good.: A thinker; | Mar 08, 2006 at 01:18 PM

p.s. I nominate Jaypo for a hamster t-shirt.: A thinker; | Mar 08, 2006 at 01:19 PM

MEGS!! So much cute today! I start my day with one darn meeting and now total overload! I haven't even squeezed all the cute out of the snow pups yet. Clearly, those files aren't getting filed today! ~jez: mejezabel; | Mar 08, 2006 at 01:54 PM

Kiwiness! Yay for the representation! Thanks Cute Overload, you guys made my day! (A Kiwi, aka a New Zealander): Fi; | Mar 08, 2006 at 02:16 PM

The second born in captivity at the Smithsonian zoo, not in the world.: Adam; | Mar 08, 2006 at 02:57 PM

to weak can't take the cute *fants*: dieing of to much cute; | Mar 08, 2006 at 03:26 PM

Wow, no wonder JALG hates you when you post pics from his blog and don't give him props...: Kat; | Mar 08, 2006 at 03:48 PM

Weird, but cute! :D: Mina; | Mar 08, 2006 at 04:09 PM

Kat -- who's JALG? This kiwi is linked from National Geographic, so... huh?: Theo; | Mar 08, 2006 at 05:02 PM

Also... I think that this little alien puffball would like to sip my brain through its schnoz straw.: Theo; | Mar 08, 2006 at 05:10 PM

HEE!! KIWIIIII!! I love those huge footsies! --TwoDragons: Denita TwoDragons; | Mar 08, 2006 at 07:02 PM

Theo, obviously National Geographic just stole the pic from "JALG"s blog. Those cheapskates are always doing that.: Errata; | Mar 08, 2006 at 07:14 PM

theo, JALG is my wild cute animal fix. justalittleguy.blogspot.com: s; | Mar 08, 2006 at 08:03 PM

KIWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o my gosh you just made my day!: Chesna; | Mar 08, 2006 at 08:07 PM

Awwww. It looks like a hairy ball with high BEF!: Subhangi; | Mar 08, 2006 at 09:36 PM

Theo if that thing can suck your brain through it's beak you must not have very much between your ears. TwoDragons those feet seem to big for it's body, adorable.-Woods Walker: Woods walker; | Mar 09, 2006 at 12:51 AM

But Woods Walker -- what of the suckage? Think of the suckage!! OMG, the suc... wait.: Theo; | Mar 09, 2006 at 05:22 AM

*fallos out of chair laughing at Theo and WW* Y'all owe me a new keyboard. Throw in a Kiwi bird and I might consider sparing your lives... ;-) --TwoDragons: Denita TwoDragons; | Mar 09, 2006 at 06:54 AM

...and by "fallos", I mean "falls". Remind me to not type anything until after I've had my coffee, 'K? Thx. --TwoDragons: Denita TwoDragons; | Mar 09, 2006 at 06:57 AM

Big feet are way too cute!!: Linda; | Mar 09, 2006 at 12:59 PM

Thanks for the cute Kiwi pic! It makes me homesick! (Im a kiwi too, but a human one).... These little guys are endangered in New Zealand...: Danielle; | Mar 10, 2006 at 09:24 AM
