Animal Photos Of The Week

As May turned to June, cute turned to cuter in the animal department. Ostrava Zoo welcomed a new Asiatic elephant, a rare white kiwi chick hatched in New Zealand, and a creepy yet adorable tiny crocodile was born. Spring is in the air (and so are some leaping animals!)

Which photo makes your spring day a bit sunnier?

The baby elephant is heartbreakingly precious. I just hope its life in the zoo is bearable.

Hey, it's really hard to not like baby chicks. They're a cute ball of yellow down that run and then suddenly stop on a dime for no reason, only to take off again.

They are all precious!

If I had to pick a favorite this week, it's between the gentle giants (Elephants) or the Lion family.
They are ALL amazing creatures.

From the last time I remember seeing this picture show. It should be called animal photos of the last two months or so.

But yeah, that ring tailed lemur is hung.

hunters of the buffalo ?????...poachers of the buffalo ????...you're 2/3rds right !!!!!!...thousands of buffalo killers were invited to come in to mass-murder the buffalo population. doing this was the white man's solution to the "Indian problem".

And still the animals have no tab of their own..... come on HuffPo...... give the animals their own spot.
