More red panda pictures. Because I needed them.

Remember those baby red pandas I blogged about?

Aside from Mozilla's FireFoxLive site, for all your red!panda!cam needs, ZooBorns has some absolutely stunning photographs of Spark and Ember. (The photographer's website also looks like an awesome timesink--just, you know, in case anybody needed that.)

Also from ZooBorns, while I'm at it, this astoundingly surreal video of zookeepers in Spain milking an orca. No, really. (Context here.)

And one more video, just because: a lion being swarmed by all seven of his children (from this ZooBorns post).

Red bears with raccoon tails!

Also, the swarm of cubs was splendid. Well, so was the lion; I expected him to loftily ignore them.
