Did you know that giant Pacific octopuses get “attached” to their aquarists—in a good way? These intelligent animals recognize our staff and may even embrace them after a long absence.
An octopus hug.
And they can be playful and squirt water at you!
YES. YESSSS. I HAVE MISSED YOU, HUMAN.

A tiny tortoise with piss-poor depth perception is the cutest, funniest thing ever. I’m dying. Dying.
So cute! This Corgi won’t fetch without his blankie!
Galapagos Tortoise and Baby
Photo: Mandy QuayleA Galapagos tortoise dwarfs her newborn in this photo released in October by the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in New South Wales, Australia.
The hatchling weighed roughly 3 ounces (87 grams) at birth. It will take 30 years for the baby to reach a similar girth as its mother - a massive 564 pounds (256 kilograms).
Galapagos tortoises are the longest-lived of all vertebrates, with average lifespans of more than a hundred years.
the baby!!
View Larger Mac, an orphaned coatimundi, is hand-reared and prepared for life with his real family - with the help of a stuffed toy. Tiny Mac is having to be bottle-fed up by staff at Porfell Wildlife Park, near Liskeard, Cornwall, after being abandoned at birth by his mother. Mac is slowly being weaned off milk and within another six weeks could be living full-time with his other four family members at the park. In the meantime he is living with the next best thing, a toy coatimundi to help with his familiarisation.
View Larger The saddest thing I have ever heard:
I (sabino) just read a comment from a 2004 article by the New York Times about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 51.75hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
