New Baby Animals Thread
i thought it might be cool to have a thread dedicated to the birth of baby animals, esp. the rare ones.
a rare Clouded Leopard was born in the Nashville Zoo the other day. here are some of the first pix of the cute lil kitten:
An adorable clouded leopard cub is making history by being the first of his species to be born from an artificial insemination (AI) procedure that used frozen and thawed semen. The birth on Wednesday was significant for the Nashville Zoo and the National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute given that clouded leopards are among the rarest cat species globally.
Described as secretive animals, clouded leopards are difficult to breed in captivity, making this birth a significant step forward in conserving the endangered species.
here's an adult Clouded Leopard:
it's so cool!

Six baby squirrels were found w/ their tails stuck together the other day! oh no! it's a 6way tuggowar. they were found and got help, so it's still cute:
How a wildlife expert rescued 6 baby squirrels in Elkhorn whose tails were knotted together
Laura Stastny has a skill few others share: untangling squirrel tails.
And the local wildlife expert got a chance to use it last week.
Six baby squirrels were found last week in Elkhorn with their tails tangled together, so much so that they became a six-headed animal cluster.
Stastny, executive director of Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, said their tails got stuck together because of tree sap. Then their tails became knotted as the eight-week-old squirrels wrestled around in their nest.
She said it wasn’t the first case of tangled squirrel tails her group has dealt with. The rescue group gets one such case every year or two.
Tree sap is often involved. But sometimes string ends up in a squirrel nest and that causes the tangle, Stastny said.
She did the untangling at the rescue group’s center in Fort Calhoun.
She gave the squirrels a mild painkiller and covered them with a towel during the untangling, because they would be calmer in the dark.
First she snipped away the sap-covered fur that initially glued them together. Then she untangled the six tails like you would a ball of knotted twine.
It took about an hour.
The squirrels are all doing fine, she said, although several of them will need surgery to remove parts of their tails that were damaged while tangled.
She expects that all of them will be released back into the wild in a few weeks.

It's explained in the story tree sap was the culprit in this case.
It's a type of "Rat King" - which for the longest time I thought was an old wives tale but it does happen, it's rather rare:
