Cuteness

I do not normally think of gorillas as being that cute - humorous and entertaining to watch, yes, but not cute.  But look at this picture and see if you don't think it's adorable - at least kind of - in a gorilla sort of way:







I think it's one of those "so ugly it's cute" kind of things.  It seems like most baby animals tend to be cute just because of the fact that they ARE babies.  Kaelyn and I thought he was adorable anyway.  ('Course Kay thinks all animals are cute whether they are or not!) One of the last times we were at Disney's Animal Kingdom, we were looking at the gorillas and they had just recently let this little guy out with the other big gorillas.


He was very playful.  Though he is somewhat hidden in this picture, if you look closely, you can see that he was hanging off some bamboo or a branch here.


He was just so little compared to the other humongous gorillas.


And look!  Even elephants are cute when they are babies.

Somewhat of a random post given the fact I haven't blogged in awhile but I have been wanting to post the picture of the baby gorilla.  It is currently a favorite picture of Kaelyn's and she even has it as her "desktop background" on her laptop.  Yep, she got Daddy's old computer and while it was very inadequate for his work and computer needs, it works quite well for her.  So there you go, a bit of random cuteness (or just plain weird randomness).

He is cute, but it was a little creapy when i clicked to blow it up, 'cause his head/face looks like a normal big scary one (I guess i expected a baby or at least little face too!) :-)
