Eep! This tiny thing is a female Blue Duiker calf — born December 8 at Fresno Chaffee Zoo. According to Zooborns:

You guys! It's Friday! Time to celebrate! Time to soak up the mind-numbing cuteness of these clouded leopard cubs at the San Diego Zoo! More about them at Zooborns. Below, let's post corgi gifs, kitten videos, your own pet pix, or whatever you've got that makes you squee.

What's that you say? It's Wednesday? And only 19 days until Christmas? That's a llamazing reason to smile! Image via The Fluffington Post.
