I really like golden lion tamarins. They have always appeared to me to be a creature out of fantasy rather than reality. They’re both so alien and familiar.

From Wikipedia:

The Golden Lion Tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) also known as Golden Marmoset, is a small New World monkey of the family Cebidae. Native to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil, the Golden Lion Tamarin is an endangered species and among the rarest animals in the world, with an estimated wild population of 1,000 individuals and a captive population of approximately 500.

Is this too straight-up-cute for this blog? Prooobably. BUT OH MAN, I LIKE THIS PICTURE. And I don’t know what other blog I can send this to! Its nose looks a little weird though. Maybe that’s how I can justify its presence on this blog?

I think what I will do is just post things I like. It just so happens that most of the things I like aren’t cute in the most well-appreciated ways.

Perhaps I’ve been a little obsessive about the baby animals. PERHAPS.

Not much else to say!

It’s only a little over a month away until Mother’s Day! (My mother reads this, and as I’ve never done anything for the holiday aside from intentionally try to forget it was Mother’s Day, I’m sure she’ll be shocked to know that I know when Mother’s Day is!) I thought I would start collecting some pictures of mothers with their uglorababies, but already I’m finding it difficult not to just post what I’ve found! These pictures are so cute!

Now I’m going to have to find some more pictures!

A person on The Amazing Regret Index and a person on the Something Awful forums both independently said “coots are uglorable” sometime in the past week. I haven’t heard anybody else mention any animals, so why not post a coot.

This coot chick appears to be resting its head on its mother. I will probably be posting a couple more of these soon, there are a few great pictures of coots.

I’ve grown so unable to tell if something might be considered ugly or not. The takin certainly is a funny looking animal though.

Update:
The Wikipedia article is formated really strangely, but there’s a link to this picture taken by a “Jonathan Mast,” at the San Diego Zoo. It’s very cute! Click it for the full sized picture at the original site.

I’m supposedly a grown man, but this kind of thing always makes me squeal.

From the description on the photo’s Flickr page:

Beemer is a blue-fronted Amazon. I got him from Bob Wheeler when he was 2 weeks old and raised him as a birthday present for my husband Jeff. Rowdy is a Pacific parrotlet. From the first time he saw Beemer, he somehow recognized that this creature towering over him was a baby, and began trying valiantly to feed him. Here he’s preening Beemer’s baby feathers.

I just think this is so great.

At first it seemed peculiar that somebody would be keeping an anteater as a pet (to be honest, it still does, reminds me a bit of the third act of this episode of this american life) however it seems “Tamandua Girl” manages to take care of the creates rather well. Her photographs of the animals living in a human’s world are very surreal, but that’s what’s great about them.

This is “Pua” as a baby.

WELL THIS SURE IS UGLORABLE

Thanks to Kimberly!

Wow, I have to say I really, really admire the work of Vearl Brown. Here’s a photographer that doesn’t back away from capturing the more gruesome reality of nature, but also shoots some really cute shots.

I love this tuckered white rhinoceros calf.
