I’m going to go out on a limb with this one and say that this guy’s pretty darned comfy right there where he is…

Celebrity Snuzz: Shaq!

He may stand more than 7-ft. tall and weigh nearly 325 lbs., but judging by this picture, it seems NBA star Shaquille O’Neal is a big softie at heart! The Cleveland Cavaliers center wrapped up a tour of China on July 16 with a visit to the Panda Breeding Research Center in Chengdu. O’Neal, who told reporters that meeting a giant panda was a longtime dream, had the chance to get cozy with a fuzzy bear – who seemed quite comfy on the big guy’s lap! According to China Central Television, the pandas were quite a welcoming committee for the sports star: The bears walked outside their enclosure, climbed trees and dangled from branches during the visit!

Raise your paw if you’d like to be a panda in your next life. I’m raising mine right now, because they seem to have a lot of fun – even their falls look pretty enjoyable. Check ‘em out:

Thanks to Katherine for sending this in!

Vintage London Snuzz

These fantastic shots are a part of the photographic archive of the Zoological Society of London, which can be browsed in its entirety here. Some of the images in the collection date back to the late 19th century, and show how much the London Zoo has changed over the years.

The only thing that hasn’t changed? The snuzz factor–still very, very high.

Got Milk? Baby Red Panda Calls Cat Mommy

An abandoned baby red panda has been adopted by a zookeeper’s tabby cat at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam? No way!

Way.

Apparently this snuzzy survivor (there were two abandoned cubs, but the other one died) was simply taken in by the tabby cat, who happened to have just given birth to four kittens, after a conversation that went something like this:

–Hey you hungry? You look hungry.
–Yeah, I could eat. And I’m a bit parched.
–Check it out, honey, I got milk. And there’s plenty of it to go around.
–You sure?
–Just get over here and start suckling.
–Wow. Thanks. Can I call you mommy?
–Slow down, panda. Let’s take this one step at a time, OK?

At least that’s how I think it must have gone down.

Pandas: Are These Things For Real?

Pandas are sooo incredibly snuzzy, that often when I see pictures of them, I can’t help but say to myself, “Really, now, you little ball of cute and fluff… did you escape from a toy store? Are you really for real?” I mean look at these pix:

So now it’s just you and me that have batteries in, right?

Hey, can we talk?

Um, hellooo? What about me?

Panda pawty.

Hey just looking at it, man. Wasn’t gonna eat it, I swear.

I LOVE this railing! I mean LOVE this railing. Look, I love you, too, but THIS RAILING… WOW!

Yes, Virginia. These are my panda claws.
