Brace yourself. This is going to be a rough one…
…to resist!
It all started when this heartbreaker of a grey seal pup was posted on the Smithsonian’s National Zoo social media. One of their Twitter followers, Virginian Sarah Hill, challenged the Virginia Aquarium to post something cuter. After a few rounds of back-to-back animal adorables, the Bronx Zoo jumped in, tagging seven other U.S. zoos, too. Once the hashtag #cuteanimaltweetoff went viral, zoos and aquariums from around the world started to compete. The resulting all-out Twitter war is the best thing I’ve seen in months.
And the good news is it’s still going on! If you need me today, I’ll be right here #cuteanimaltweetoff! Whatever your political leanings, this is something I think we can all agree upon. That’s certainly a cause for celebration!

This is the only acceptable Twitter War I want to encounter with. I want these types of wars everywhere. Let’s kill each other with cuteness and adorableness and innocence!

Refreshing, isn’t it? And it’s good for the zoos because they’re getting international press for free. Everybody wins!

I need hugs from them all and I can’t promise that when hugging the chameleon and tiny deer that I won’t just sneak them into my pockets. Looking at images of baby animals might be my best survival strategy for the coming years.

I bookmarked this post so that I could keep going back to get rejuvenated on a dreary day. Today is a dreary day in my neck of the woods, so I thought I’d share. Thank you OBT. ~~dru~~
