Animals in the news

As I was surfing the net this morning looking for some animal news, I came across a few great links.

First, I received an email recently about the sighting of a pink -- actually albino -- dolphin calf. Snopes.com confirmed that the sighting is real. You can see pictures of this beautiful creature here:

I also discovered that the San Diego zoo has released a video of their new giant panda cub's first visit with a veterinarian. The cute little thing obviously didn't enjoy the experience very much, but she made it and was whisked away to her mom right afterward.

Here's a very cute picture of her from another news story:

This next video of a mother cat caring for some chicks along with her kittens has been circulating via email. It's very cute. Enjoy!
