The Baby Animals Thread

A red panda.

From Wikipedia;

The red panda's place on the evolutionary tree has been debated, but modern genetic evidence places it in close affinity with raccoons, weasels, and skunks. It is not closely related to the giant panda, which is a bear, though both possess elongated wrist bones or "false thumbs" used for grasping bamboo.

Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before.

This thread is for cute baby animals that makes everyone go "Aawwww!". So this might not fit in here, but I have baby vipers (vipera berus) in my yard. Saw them today, they are living under a pile of tree branches. Facinating little creatures. They are usually brown and grey but these are black, so they are a little special.

A nest of vipers, eh? In English that refers to a group of people who are evil and/or dangerous.

Yes, a bona fide viper nest in my yard. Haven't seen that here before so it's kinda fun. I wonder how many there are underneath those branches. I'll just leave them alone, I can donate that pile of branches to them and leave it there.

Google says that it's a baby, as a wise person I believe anything google tells me!

Well, after I posted, I looked more closely at the photograph. See all those threads straight and criss-cross in the background? In some species, the baby spiders are hatched into this protective ball of silk.

So many videos and photos are protected now, I can’t find one that will post to this website. But if you google, “baby spiders in a web” you should get lots of hits and the videos of the babies crawling around in their web is fascinating.

They certainly seem to join the world in droves.

Pesto, the giant Emperor penguin chick that is on display at an Australian aquarium right now. He’s larger than his parents.
