Links: Hi-Yo, Elsie! Away!

And finally: Smothered Meerkat Mother

A litter of meerkats born at Australia’s Taronga Zoo last November are just taking their first steps in front of the public. The six pups are the largest litter born at Taronga so far, and they’re running their mother ragged. Via Zooborns and sender-inner Smartypants!

    Another stellar collection of links, Mike!

    Spock the kitten sure lucked out from Pokemon Go. He’s a knockout now.

    A goldfish helping another one to eat so it can live? I would never have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes! OK you can shut down the internet nothing will top that!

      I love this story! It also dovetails with the story from last week about the Koi playing with the human – it seems like fish may be capable of much more complex thoughts and emotions than I would’ve thought.

      I love it – that’s so precious!

      At the top of the page, there’s a link called “Send Me Stuff” – click on that and it brings up a blank email where you can send Mike links.

      Fabulous – so much to love about this! Little duck trying to keep standing, little lambs-kin with black knees and anklets, happy mommy pig – wonderful.

      It’d be nice for moms of big litters if the kids didn’t all get hungry at the same time.

    All the kittens are cute including meerkittens!
    The meerkittens look so much alike. I can imagine getting introduced to them at a party, hm was that George or maybe James? No, Joshua!

    I love meerkats! I wanna snuggle the stuffing out of those little pups.
