When we last checked in with Frostie the Snow Goat, the little guy was fighting off a serious infection that had robbed him of the use of his back legs. His rescuers at Australia's Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary hoped that by getting mobile with the help of a wheelcart, he'd one day walk again.
For those interested in a distraction from Miley and / or shutdown-related news, this video posted by the AP should do it. Sometimes bleating baby animals make it all better. According to the video's description:
These outrageously adorable baby foxes were born on the grounds of Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park. They like to hang out in the Zen Garden. And they're the stars of a Facebook page called "FB Foxes." Do you like them?

To me, this South African baby pygmy hippo looks like a talented cake-maker molded a heaping pile of feces into the shape of a hippo for a hippo-themed birthday party. But that's just one opinion among a sea of opinions floating out there in the cosmos.
National Geographic Digital Nomad Andrew Evans visited a remote Antarctic island populated by fur seals, and made a video of the absurdly cute baby seals he met there.

"The future looked so bright for tiny Til, a baby rabbit born without ears three weeks ago," Der Spiegel reports.

Chicago's Brookfield Zoo introduced a healthy baby aardvark to the media today. The baby was born on January 12, complete with all its aardvark fingers and toes and little aardvark nose.

The Madrid Zoo unveiled a pair of one-month-old panda twins today. They're of unknown gender (apparently it takes awhile to figure that out) and are the first panda twins created by artificial insemination ever to be born outside of Asia.
Good Saturday morning! Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen spawning, Keifer Sutherland, Clay Aiken, and Giada De Laurentiis squashing separate (but equal!) beefs, Robert Pattinson gets some Can(nes), and Beyonce sez: "avoid the gym."
