sumatran tiger cubs are hilarious

just look at 'em.  he totally put gum in her hair or something.  grrr, brothers.

the cubs were born at the tacoma zoo on may 26 and were already hamming it up the next day.  these little guys just made the endangered species list a bit cuter.

for funzies, the zoo hasn't named them yet.  they want you to do it for them.  vote here for your favorites.  too bad "morty" and "nikki" aren't on the list.

another endangered cat

no, not the feral cats of new jersey.  though they could be in trouble if some people don't see the light soon.

the flat-headed cat of south-eastern asia, one of the least-known species of wild cats and tiniest at only 3-5lbs, has been added to the endangered species list due to loss of habitat and increased distances between colonies preventing breeding. unfortunately, this is just another cat in a long list that is seeing its numbers decline across the globe in the wake of human activities.
