And now a post about places in the United States, Europe, and Asia where you can visit baby giraffes. So zoos, parks, etc. Note also that we've embedded a couple of especially cute videos at the bottom, because baby giraffes.

Florida's Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay is at the top of the list, with a new baby born last December and then another one born in February. That's two baby giraffes, which you can see on one ticket. Very straightforward.

Three Zoos for Visiting Baby Sumatran Tiger Cubs

April 30, 2012 at 3:45 PM | by | Comments (0)

Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered subspecies of tiger from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. There are less than 300 of them left in the wild, and all known population clusters are in decline. So when you have a chance to see one under any circumstances you should avail yourself of the opportunity. And if that chance somehow involves seeing a bunch of baby Sumatran cubs wrestling, that should conclusively settle whether it's worth your time to go wandering around the zoo for an afternoon.

This is all by way of saying that we realize it's been almost a month since we posted about zoos, and we owe you some cute things. Herein are three different parks across two different states, each with a pair of baby Sumatran tigers. We've even included embedded videos and links to picture galleries, because it's Monday and you deserve it.

This Parrot Flies Over 500 MPH, Thank to Frontier

April 20, 2012 at 12:59 PM | by | Comments (0)

Breaking news. This is super important. You better sit down for this.

Frontier has chosen a new animal to grace their airplane tails, keeping up a long tradition of making their jets cuter than everyone else's. Please welcome Polly the Parrot to vertical stabilizer on Frontier's fleet. Polly won't be the first tropical animal to grace a Frontier fin—Flip, the Bottle-nose dolphin has that distinction—but she will be the first tropical bird.

To earn her spot on the tail, Polly beat out rivals Chloe the squirrel and Enrique the frog, after 65,000 votes were cast at Frontierairlines.com.

Check out the other animal tales here and...hey—which one would you most want to fly on? We're pretty partial to the Jack the Rabbit, just so we can say we flew the bunny plane.
