pup

This squea lion is so excited to be a part of this week's Squee Spree, he chose to pose of his volition! How adorable and amazing is that?

The Virginia Aquarium is inviting you to help name its newly adopted male Otter pup. The cute creature was found alone near St. George, S.C., apparently abandoned by his mother and only days old. During the rescue and in subsequent stabilization period, he became dependent upon human care, so he was deemed unable to be released into the wild. He is now under the watchful care of Virginia Aquarists and thriving.

Click here to participate! Deadline is June 15, 2012.

I'm sorry squeeps, I was going to share with you a very squee picture of a baby Seal, but I can't seem to find him. All I've got is this cute snowball with little, black eyes... Wait a second...

We're just making sure you're growing up healthy, pup! It won't take but a moment.

Prepare for your heart to explode.

An abandoned, 5-week-old sea otter pup was recently rescued in California, fattened up at a local aquarium, and is currently undergoing rehabilitation at Shedd's Abbott Oceanarium in Chicago.

She doesn't have a name yet - their currently referring to her as "Pup 681" - but, how about we just call her "Mine."

Look at this face!

Oh baby, that gaze!

The results are in and this week's winner is the otter. Check back next Friday for another round of voting.
