In the video above, a baby whitetip gets rescued from the jaws of a 9 ft. Sand Tiger shark in an Aquarium. Apparently, the baby shark survived the attack.
This video totally validates my longheld belief that despite their fearsome, snaggle-toothed appearance, Sand Tigers are complete and total pussies.

At Zoofur, you can purchase dildos shaped realistically like the members of your favorite animals. And you don’t have to settle for the oh-so-common, albeit delightful, horse dong. You can choose from the tricky raccoon, the adorable mouse, the straightforward orca, and even a tentacle (for those, as the site helpfully notes, who are up for an “alien probeing [sic], or a dip in the sea”) along with an array of fantastical or extinct—and apparently well-endowed—creatures like the gryphon, the dragon, and the raptor, and I know at least one person who will be excited about that.
Oh, this old thing? An udderly irresistible PETA ad about milk. (h/t BOBO)
Quite possibly the most important charity single of our time, the 1989 “Spirit of the Forest”—written by the guy responsible for the equally important "Under the Boardwalk”—features a superhero cast of the feyest of fey icons, including Debbie Harry, Donna Summer, Taylor Dayne, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Belinda Carlisle, and Olivia Newton-John.

We began the day with cute rabbits. Let's close it out with another.
Olivia Judson, of the New York Times, has “tyrannical romantic fantasies” on the mind. No, she’s not thinking about boning Bush or Kim Jong-il. Nor is she dreaming, as I am, about doing gay-heartthrob Ahmadinejad. This evolutionary biologist is salivating over: T. Rexes.“Did he bite her neck in rapture and exude a musky scent?,” she asks breathlessly. Did the T. Rex have a wiener (or even two!), she wonders hungrily, and just how big were those dinosaur testes? Someone get this woman a time machine!
She helpfully explains:
In species where females usually mate with a single male during a breeding episode, penises tend to be small and uninteresting. In those where females mate with several males (whether by choice or by force), penises are typically larger, and come with fancy decorations such as grooves, nobbles, and spikes.
On second thought: Can anyone blame her?
