Animal Crackers: Lion Cub Gives Us His Best Roar

A lion's roar isn't so ferocious when he's just an itty bitty baby. Thanks to Danielle Capriato for sharing this with me.

Animal Crackers: Hedgehog gets stuck in tube

I do feel a little bad for this guy who got his head stuck in a toilet paper roll, but not that bad because it gave me two minutes of entertainment. Also, hedgehogs are cute.
