Five for Friday

1. Simon's Cat has a website. Also, a new cartoon.

2. Life on White does absolutely stunning photography. All kinds of animals, vertebrate and invertebrate. ([livejournal.com profile] oursin, I commend to you the hedgehogs.)

3. The Indianapolis Zoo has a baby dolphin. I recommend the video, especially if your own species is getting you down today.

4. Sadly, Cinnamon, the doyenne of Disapproving Rabbits, has died. She was thirteen, which is a darn good run for a rabbit. All my sympathy to her humans.

5. There are snow leopard triplets (and their gorgeous mom) at Zoo Basel.

Apparently my brother-in-law's family went to Zoo Basel on the day (or day after?) the snow leopard triplets when on exhibit. They did not, however, see the snow leopard triplets because the nephew, who is 18 months old, is currently obsessed by rhinos.

Is it me, or did snow-leopard mama totally have a Mehitabellian "one dam kitten after another" face on?

And now there's tiny clouded leopard cub pictures up, too!!!

The snow leopard cub pictures were what my husband woke up to. He was quite bowled over as they are his favorite!

The snow leopard cubs look like a handful--a cute handful, but a handful all the same. Here in Nashville, we have baby anteaters (http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/nashville-zoo/) to go with the baby clouded leopards.
