Aw, so cute, until she's big enough to eat you! ;)

If you haven't seen it, check out this video of a new polar bear cub at a German zoo.

CNN Video 

I mean, look at this little face :) and wow, she's got a web page already! http://www.nuernberg.de/internet/eisbaer/



and then there's Raz, the aye-aye, which will probably freak out half of you, so I'll put his little mug under the cut

yeah, a face only a mother could love, but he reminds me a little of my cat, except for the long black fingers, of course. Darned shamed there are only 1,000 left in the wild!

You can read more on this little fellow at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/bristol/somerset/7177701.stm

Don't worry, once the polar bear cub outgrows the 'cute' stage, the hype will end.

Unless it transforms into "oh noes, the polar bear isn't cute and little anymore and now he doesn't get enough love". I live in Berlin; Knut definitely got more coverage here than Britney. ;)

Though I agree, it is rather cute to look at.

I always loved aye-ayes. When I first saw a live one at a zoo I was five or so, and I remember getting very cross with my mum because she wouldn't get me one as a pet!

And unlike Britney, the bear can't get behind the wheel of a car ;)

Yeah, I remember seeing aye-ayes in books as a kid. NEver see a live one though.
