This Is For Your Own Protection

Meet Tai and Pip, twin red pandas at the Edmonton Valley Zoo in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As a safety precaution, we're only going to show you their heads, because the rest of them have been deemed by the C.O. Public Safety Advisory Committee to be too cute for safe public consumption.

If we were to show you their soft, fuzzy, oh-so-snorglable bellies, or the delicate downy fur on their bushy, bushy tails, your brains would melt into a pool of butterscotch pudding and ooze out your ears, which would really put a crimp in your plans for the weekend. Also, brain is notoriously hard to clean out of clothing, especially synthetics. We're only thinking of you, people.

You want the cute? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE CUTE!

Just send us the dry cleaning bill, Nicole M.

I volunteered at a zoo when I was in school and one time I had the pleasure of manning the Red Panda exhibit. They had week old tiny babies in an incubator and they just shimmied around looking too cute for words! I've been in love with Red Pandas ever since! These babies are TOO cute!

Excuse me, I'd like to lodge a complaint with management regarding the safety precautions taken at this site. You have witheld the bodies for fear of heads esploding with butterscotch pudding but failed to warn us of the potential banana pudding eruptions when exposed to that tongue!

Ermine Violin, it's hard to remember how to spell anything when your brain is dribbling out of your ears from the cute!

Oh, and NTMTOM, I appreciate your consideration, but it's too late. This shirt will never be the same again. And now I'm gonna have to scrub the brain stains out of the upholstery.

Whuh? NTMTOM posts pictures? Am I just slow to notice things, or is this new?

hey-h
 |  Jun 20, 2008 at 06:35 AM

NTMTOM - Help! I've found a video and have watched it! I didn't 'splode so maybe it's safe...? Would i be accused of endangering other Qte Addicts if i were to post it???? Safety first people...
Who wants to see them in action?

*splort* (the sound of brains exploding out of ears at the cuteness of that little pink yawn)

d*mn! butterscotch over everything...

I do! I do! I'll stand naked in the shower while watching for easy cleanup! I'm sure it'll be worth the risk, iggle!

OK, but please use caution, and stand clear of delicate fabrics (you ever tried getting butterscoth out of silk? Yeesh!) - http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/index.cfm?main=broadcast&bcid=7607&cpvid=1

*backs down shamefully* You're so right. I cannot handle the cute. This is mind-sploding cuteness and I'm not tough enough to take it. *sobs* I want a baby red panda yawning in my face every day.

You're right, I clicked through to here: http://www.valleyzoo.ca/pages/ValleyZoo/News.aspx?id=705, saw a paw and almost died of squee'ing. I've learned my lesson, I'll listen to your warning next time. Too cute is too cute.

Hey! As these bebehs were born on my birthday, I must insist that they be given to ME as a birthday present. And I will love them and squeeze them and call them (both) George.

Jen
 |  Jun 20, 2008 at 08:33 AM

Eeeee! I live in Edmonton! Time for a trip to the zoo. I went about a month ago, but there were no snorgly little bebehs then. :)

I read on the website that they were taken from their mother when she began to "aggressively hold and groom" one of the babies. Um...who can blame her? I would totally do the same if I could get my paws on them.

Redzilla
 |  Jun 20, 2008 at 08:44 AM

she is so lucky. i am seathing with jealousy and envy that she gets to hold those lil babies.

My Dear Ceiling Cat, one must have a very large amount of space for those two red panda puppies, (kits,) (whatever.)

If you have that much space available for them well, I have only envy for you. Two red pandas and the shirt to fit them in, my,my,my.
