Animal Photos Of The Week

First Posted: 10/22/10 06:29 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:05 PM ET

Think baby animals are cute? Well it doesn't get much cuter than a baby monkey, Miwa, riding a baby boar, Uribo. The two struck up their attention-grabbing relationship in Japan after both lost their mothers.

That's just the beginning of the awesome pics we've rounded up for this week's best animal photos. Check out incredible shots of jaguar cubs, baby tigers, a baby hippo, a smiling seal and even some squirrels that like to get a bit too friendly with tourists.

Vote for your favorite animal photo of the week!

Way to go, Killjoy! Better to let them die right?

Better not to encroach on their space and allow them to live in the wild.

Better not to genetically manipulate dogs to fill our own missing comforts.

Better not to use animals of any kind for our own amusement.
