Bear Bear Bear

A pair of rare panda twins, born in Wakayama, Japan in 2006.

Pagi, right, a female Bornean sun bear cub whose name means "morning" in a Malayan dialect, licks her brother, Palu, who is named after a valley in Borneo, as they made their public debut at the San Diego Zoo on Monday, March 16, 2009. The twins are only the third Bornean sun bear litter to be born in North America, all of which have occurred at the San Diego Zoo, where researchers are studying reproductive biology and maternal care of the sun bear.

With an estimated 1,800 giant pandas still in their natural habitat — the bamboo-covered mountains of Western China — and fewer than 300 in zoos and preserves, they remain on the critically-endangered list. For long-standing cultural reasons, however (and because they can rent pandas to foreign zoos for up to £1million a year), the Communist authorities are determined to preserve their prized natural symbol.

The baby, Jiao Qing, is the first first surviving cub of the base's birthing season, which lasts until September.

Koalas are amazing. They can sit on the tiniest of branches and practically sleep anywhere! It is also most of what they do all they to be honest. As you can imagine, sleeping with a stick up your ass can't be very comfortable, yet these cute teddy bears manage to ignore that and sleep blissfully.

This adorably cute sleeping koala was shot in Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, QLD, Australia
