Haha - so glad my parents were too cheap for a video camera when I was a kid. Unfortunately I still have to deal with people whose parents weren’t loading old home videos of Elementary School Christmas Concerts and tagging me in them.

Wikipedia says that it’s the only animal in its family but that it’s of a superfamily that includes Raccoons and stuff.

At its rehearsal dinner.

You’re a bear ffs. Just charge right in and grab her. Who’s going to stop you?

Also in Squee news there’s a new baby Red Panda at the Detroit Zoo. Her name is Tofu and I am currently in the process of devising the best way to steal her so I can keep her.

“It’s what drives us to keep them alive until they can start to fend for themselves.”

Hmm. My cat rarely meows but does those little purring chirping noises instead—”brrrt.”

They’re a whole lot easier to shoot if they’re docile and trust humans.

But that’s ok. I’m dead and I won’t need my body in hell anyway.

Great. Why raise it first? I bet they’d pay extra to shoot them while they’re still babies.

After dinner. With guests and ice cream.

As mammals, we are programmed to find all baby mammals cute. We find the large head to small body, large eyes, and certain chubbiness/roundness that all baby mammals share adorable. It’s what drives us to keep them alive until they can start to fend for themselves. We don’t find the same cuteness in non mammals, which…

If babies looked like this thing below, the human race will die out in one generation. The cuteness is to bond them to us.

Until you die and it runs out of food!

There is. It has something to do with why we take care of them. (Someone can probably do a MUCH better job, but short answer)

I can’t believe Katy Perry is beating young Simba with that terrible, terrible song that should have bombed. How obscene!

this is a weird question, but science-side of Kinja report — is there a biological/evolutionary reason all babies are cute? Or that we find all babies cute? I understand the evolutionary reason why we must think human babies are cute, but why are other animal babies cute to us?? Is this a weird thought???

I’m going to genetically engineer lions that stay cubs and never grow into dangerous flesh-eating beasts. I will be the richest person on earth.

can we show the lion this video when it is older to embarass it?
