Video: Baby Asleep On Dad’s Head
This 12-second video is one of those things that I think only a parent could appreciate. MomLogic says that the "best line ever uttered by a dad" is "I felt cold drool on my head." (I thought it was "WOW! THAT NAPPY SMELLS LIKE CHERNOBYL!") I know that I used to feel that baby drool was gross. Until I experienced my own kids' drool. It's...

Just Because It Is Adorable

She’s named Tahina and is considered one of 17 Propithecus coronatus lemurs living in custody around the world.

Elephant calf Thabo-Umasai joined camels, deer, and sheep in a traditional new-year feast of Christmas trees just after the new year. Each elep...

World’s Cutest Monkey Rejected by His Mum
We might count monkeys among our relatives (shhh, don't tell Sarah Palin), but I'm happy to say most of us wouldn't do what a marmoset mom of triplets did to the cutest thing I've seen since my kid wrapped her arms around her best friend and puckered up.
