Yes, 'nanas ARE my favorite dessert...

How DID you guess?! [shifty eyes for five mins]

I like the opposable foot-thumb, Lawrence L. and FreakyMartin.

And now, a kitten sneaking up on a fennec fox

Hmm, I think I'll search on the keyword "Fennec foxes" and "kittehs" and see what happens [cross-eyed head tilt]

Rachael K., I don't even want to know how this happened. It's FAR too redonk.

Heart Addax ax ax ax ax ax

I love it when I hear about completely new animals—check this out: two endangered "Addax" were born at the Louisville Zoo in the last few weeks. Their mini horn nubules will son be spiraling out of control.

More on the Addax here from Louisville Zoo. Gracias to Sender-Inner Laura E.

Mini-phant

The Baltimore Sun is reporting Samson the behbeh elephant gains 2.5 pounds a day. That's like a new ear a day.

Samson lives over at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, and is featured on MarylandZoo TV!!! OMG.

Though technically not a stoat, this baby otter voted

Otters, weasels, stoats, ferrets—they're all just furry kneesocks with eyes, aren't they?

But, they can all make a difference by voting Cute Overload for a People's Voice award! (Psst, look for the Weird category) (...or you could just look for "Cute Overload" alphabetically)

The Slow Loris might be the proshest animule alive

Please check out the tiniest of tongue/banana action and the [plink! plink!] eye capsules. This is the Slow Loris, a nocturnal primate from Southeast Asia. They're not meant to be pets, they prefer hangin' out in the trees.

Slow Loris, Borneo - Really a nocturnal animal, originally uploaded by One more shot Rog.

Wikipedia sez these guys ar "happiest at the top of trees" and "make slow, deliberate movements and a powerful grasp that makes them very difficult to remove from branches."

Slow Loris, Borneo - Really a nocturnal animal 2, originally uploaded by One more shot Rog.

Apparently, they rarely eat fruit, so this banana feeding is unusual...

Slow Loris, Borneo - close-up, originally uploaded by One more shot Rog.

Don't let the proshness fool you of course. Like all of the cutest animals, these guys have some serious teef. And as a bonus, they secrete toxins out their elbows. Cute! [head tilt]

Behbeh lemur leeps
