Animal Photos Of The Week

So many babies! From baby pandas to baby giraffes, we've got the baby sector covered this week. The litter of 17 puppies definitely sent us over the top. Plus, we've added a few reindeer pics to spice up your holiday spirit.

Vote your favorites, and let us know what you think of the photos in the comments below... we'd especially love to hear your thoughts on the baby Cockatoo, since we can't decide if he's adorable or eerily reminiscent of Natalie Portman's "Black Swan" transformation.

Pup in pram is pizzed.

Elephants and lions in the snow, a husky in a stroller. Inverted world, yet it seems to suit the animals just fine. And that black cockatoo is probably the ugliest animal i've ever seen. And yet... it looks interessting, compared to - let's say - a housecat. Got something. Can't really put my finger on it.

Cats Rule!

They serve no use.

Dogs, on the other hand --- RESCUE PEOPLE, SAVE LIVES.

Epic fail! Cats can be used in thereputic settings for children, inmates, and senior citizens. They are gentle and their purring and kneading has also been helpful and therepuetic for seniors. They make excellent companions and they can be taught where to poop. CATS RULE!
MEOW BABY!

that's what ppl said in the middle ages. which is why the black death wiped out a huge percentage of humanity. all of which could have been prevented had they not killed the mousers.

That puppy in the stroller doesn't look impressed by his situation at all, he's thinking they could have at least bought a stroller with a cover on top, the wet snow is messing up the hour he spent looking in the mirror perfectly arranging his fur.

My chow used to give me the same look when he was displeased with my actions.

To me he's saying, I have these humans right where I want them.

Even animals are treated better than human beings. Sad isn't it? We can't even help each other.

Dogs are people, too.

I doubt that's a husky. The ears are too far apart and the snout is too jowly. I bet it's a chow.

In any case, awwwwwwwwww.. :-)

It's at least part chow chow.

my guess would have been a Samoyed crossed with Winston Churchill.

All I know is, he's the prettiest thing I've ever seen.

I wanna snatch him off HuffPo, squeeze him & never put him down.

Shame on you, what a pathetic person you must be

Can't believe #1 didn't make the top 5. So cute!

Some of those doggies need to sue their owners for making them look the way they do.

[SalesmanForLife]

Agreed and putting the pup in a stroller is horrid. Some owners just do not understand Canine or Feline. Let he pups senses stimulate by WALKING, this is how it understands and learns the territory, not from a stroller ride. Cute puppy face though.

I agree; my girl is only happy when dragging us at full strength and speed.

And the same goes for the hapless vet and her assistants every time she goes there...(try and keep her quiet for an x-ray...she tries to bribe them out of it with a profusion of licks...)

[LogicalMathMan]

11:03 PM on 12/26/2010

LOL on the bribes...cute!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy do I understand..I've got a yellow lab too!

Love the baby elephants. ( Let's keep them out of circuses and zoos, though.) Don't we share this planet with other wonderful creatures !!

that puppy that stroller sure has it the right persuasion methods

[IreneNH]

07:15 PM on 12/26/2010

Huh? Sorry, but I have no idea what you are trying to say.

[LogicalMathMan]

07:19 PM on 12/26/2010

LOL..yeah he does...some persuasion, some swagger....too cute.
