I have to say that I’m rather confused about what is taking place in this adorable image. It seriously looks like the moose and her calf are goofing out to pose for a family picture. Whatever the case, it made me smile, and I hope it has the same effect on you.

It’s a sad reality that parents in the animal world sometimes abandon their young. In the case of Breeze, an adorable little foal, his mother abandoned him only hours after he was born. Luckily, he was found by rescue workers and given an adorable teddy bear to act as a surrogate mother in the absence of his own mother. He took to the teddy bear immediately and has provided us a sad but cute story, and some very adorable pictures. You can see the rest of the pictures here, but here is just one of them for your viewing pleasure.

The blue-footed booby is a marine bird so-named because of its striking blue feet. According to Wikiepdia’s blue-footed booby article, both males and females prefer mates with bright blue feet: the brighter, the better.
I found an adorable picture of a blue-footed booby and a goofy little fledgling. It was so cute, that I just had to share it with you guys.

The site on which I found this adorable image also had a goofy video of the mating dance of the blue-footed booby. You guys have to check this out!

Colugo? What on Earth is that? I had never heard of them either until I stumbled upon this neat article on reddit.
Colugos are nocturnal tree-dwelling gliding mammals from Southeast Asia. You can read about them at ferrebeekeeper or you can check out Wikipedia’s colugo article of course.
Be sure to note that the mother and baby both have adorable and sweet faces. Look at those giant eyes, pink noses and ears!

I first saw a chinchilla when I was a little kid on vacation with my parents and sister. We went into the largest pet shop I had ever seen, and saw a bunch of fuzzy little chinchillas that to me resembled something between a gerbil and a guinea pig. Chinchillas are very different rodents of course, and adorable in their own right. They actually originate from the Andes and you could read all about them in Wikipedia’s Chinchilla article.

I was on Reddit when I stumbled upon this adorable little gif of a kitten having a nightmare, and a mother cat holding her kitty close to make her feel better. This reminds me of when I used to have nightmares when I was a little girl. I would go to my mother and she would console me until I fell back sound asleep.
I thought that this post was certainly in tune with the Mother’s Day weekend coming up. What an awesome kitty mother, don’t you think?

There is such a high level of goofiness in this picture. First of all, what is the baby horse doing on the mother’s back? Secondly, did you notice that the mother is still eating while all this is going on? Finally, look how tiny the baby is in comparison: the mother’s hair is long and flowing, and the baby’s is so short. Also, don’t forget to take a look at the tiny hooves!

As you are well aware by now, We love koala bears here on ACAD. We hope you enjoy our latest addition to our koala bear category. Can you just imagine how comfortable it must be to hug a koala? This happy koala family looks so content and unbelievably adorable!
According to the article from Zooborns, three koalas gave birth to joeys in the Summer of 2012 in the Taipei zoo, Taiwan. These pictures are from a few months after the birth (as, according to the Wikipedia’s Koala article, joeys do not fully emerge from their mother’s pouch until six to seven months of age).

I love the expression on the mother’s face as she watches her tiny calf attempting to stand, but unfortunately failing (in a hilarious way). This picture really made me laugh. I can’t help but feel a little bad for this adorable calf, and his/her rather surprised mother, but this is truly a great moment to have caught on camera.
