There can be a lot of benefits to having a younger sibling. For example, there is always someone you can talk too, even better you can boss your younger brother or sister around. In most cases there will always be someone who will have your back when things spin out of control. There is one drawback to being adored however, because you are at the centre of their world it can make getting alone time difficult.
It doesn’t matter whether a baby is human or animal, if you send them on errands, eventually they are going to get bored, tired and a meltdown is inevitable. In this video the baby elephant seems to have walked with his herd to find water and decided he has had enough and doesn’t want to walk anymore. You can basically tell he his screaming at his mum “No!” as she tries to cajole him to get up and continue walking. If this was a human child we would be seeing foot stamping, screaming and loads of crying. Our hearts go out to this adorable little guy and we think he needs a rest.
Splish splash he was taking a bath! Check out this incredibly cute 2 month old baby elephant enjoying himself at the Dallas Zoo as he messed around for the first time ever in his kiddie pool. A zoo spokesperson said the kiddie pool was brought out when the little fella’s handlers felt he was big enough to step into it. This being summer and all, pool time is a requirement.
If you have time, you should check out this amazing video stream of a mama grizzly bear teaching her cubs how to fish. At least that is what we believe is going on here. We’re not exactly bear experts, but you can see they start off in the water and it looks as if they might have been fishing. They seem very happy to watch the salmon jump upstream. There is a real possibility that these cute little critters are actually hanging out with their dad rather than they mum. Regardless of who is teaching the bear cubs to fish, they are incredibly cute.
Check out this lovely video of a panda cub having a ball whilst undergoing a health exam at the San Diego Zoo. This little fella is called Xiao Liwu and the video shows him hugging a plastic ball during his 18th exam. The panda’s handlers like to call the critter Mr. Wu and gave him the balls so they could test his coordination. Mr. Wu has been encouraged by his keepers to handle new objects and as you can probably tell from the video, his frequent toppling over delighted his handlers.
A video of a dancing gorilla has gone viral with more than a million people having seen the clip of the primate engaging in some ballet dancing. Helen Fairhead shot the video of the three-year-old animal named Lope whilst she was visiting Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire. The video of Lope pirouetting was uploaded to Facebook which attracted an audience of over a million with hundreds of people leaving comments. Dr Charlotte Macdonald, the zoo’s director of life sciences says Lope dancing was evidence that playing is an important aspect of the development of a young ape.
If you are a parent or someone who has had to give a child a bath, you have probably heard them yell “but I don’t want to get out of the bathtub yet!”. Whilst that is perfectly normal for a child to say, it is very rare for a puppy to experience bath time blues. However, the Siberian husky Zeus in the video proves that even puppies love baths. Watch him cry loudly from the tub as he attempts to get his owner to turn on the tap.
ZSL London Zoo recently announced the birth of two extremely rare Sumatran tiger cubs. The zoo keepers were able to capture the cubs first moments courtesy of some hidden cameras. So far the zoo has not been able to determine the sex of the cubs who were born to a Sumatran tigress named Melati at the end of last month following a pregnancy lasting 108 days. The zoo carefully watched the pregnant tigress and when she finally went into labour, they were able to monitor the births through a remote camera which they have dubbed cubcam. The cubs have not yet opened their eyes and are still firmly ensconced with their mother inside a special cubbing den.
Sometimes you just need to nap following a huge meal. That is unless you are a nine foot or 3-metre-long snake. Recently a carpet python was found catching a quick 40 winks on a homeowners kitchen counter following a massive meal in Australia. Naturally Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers were called in to transport the snake to a more suitable place on the outside.
Now here is a cute clip with a lovely back story. The video shows Meg an 11-year-old Labrador playing with a baby bunny that was named Little John Stamos by Meg’s owner David Jackson. It is incredibly adorable to see Meg and the baby bunny bump noses and horse around in Mr. Jackson’s yard in the Ottawa Valley, Canada. The video is sure to warm your heart, but if for some reason it’s not enough, then when you hear the reason why Meg was watching the bunny, you can be sure your heart will melt.
