These two adorable orphaned sea lions have found a new home at the Brookfield Zoo! The two pups, born on June 7 and June 10, were abandoned by their moms at a popular tourist attraction, Pier 39 in San Francisco, which is a highly unusual place for a Californian sea lion to give birth. Without human intervention the helpless pups would probably have died…
Luckily they were rescued by staff from the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California, eventually making their way to the Chicago Zoological Society’s Brookfield Zoo. The pups are off exhibit for the moment while they learn to swim and get acclimated to their new surroundings.
Who knew sea lion pups made such cute sounds? “Wehhh-eehh-eeehhh, weee-ehhh-eehhh-ehhhh.”

Yes, you are reading it well. These New Zealand piglets are called “Kunekune”, which means “fat and round” in Maori. They are smaller than other breeds of pigs in New Zealand, but when overweight they can still be pretty large pigs.
More Kunekune at The New Zealand Kunekune Association.

Remember the cute sloth video of Lucy C.?
Well, here’s a new one…
These vulnerable creatures jungle home is being slowly destroyed by pesticides, sold off to US real estate agencies and sliced up by roads and power lines. But we hope that with this adorable episode of The Cute Show we can help bring some much needed attention to their plight.
