The Tokyo zoo has released the first video of three baby foxes born there in May. They’re rare Fennac foxes with unusually large ears to help them stay cool. They’re being raised by (lucky) zoo staff, because their (deadbeat) mother was “unable to care for them.” Anyway, I want to go to there. Here’s one of those adorable-yet-creepy strangely quiet zoo baby videos of the foxes.
That’s a very nice comfy-looking bed for a ZOO. Lucky foxes.

How do big ears keep them cool? Can they fan themselves?
Ha! But no. They act as large radiators and dissipate body heat. Mother Nature’s a mad scientist, .bryan.

Da Cake Eatur and CarolineA sittin in a tree!
You’d think the super-huge ears would actually cause them to be less cool, because, you know, increased probability of us cuddling with them.
It’s a 30 Rock quote

Anyway, I don’t think you were downvoted for that, I think it’s because Linds (Linds 4Eva!) already said it. *Double sigh* Oh well, I voted you back up.
skynews has the international cute baby animal market cornered.
One of those guys looks like he has a plan (around second 14).

but if they can, i, for one, welcome our foxy overlords.
they’re all good little champions anyway.
Now THOSE are cute babies.
