Hello, hello! I'm back for a while (until Sunday, specifically) while ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cuteanimalpics takes some time off. Firstly, some panda news! On the last post I made, I mentioned a contest to name a tiny new panda at San Deigo zoo. Since then, the little guy's had his very own naming ceremony. The winning name was 小礼物, pronounced as Xiao Liwu, which translates to 'little gift'.
If you feel like you missed out a chance to name a tiny animal, though, don't fret! Pueblo Zoo in Colorado is seeking entries on its facebook page for suggestions for a baby two-toed sloth. Its mom is called Chewie, and apparently some of the staff members are rooting for Han. Also, I have totally made panda and sloth posts before. Feel free to check them out via the links!
Anyway, a happy thanksgiving to all! I hope everyone's doing good today, or as good as they can hope for, and maybe a bit better. I know I missed Halloween, but hopefully I can make up for that with some American animals, several of whom you might know, and maybe one or two you might not. Since regardless of whatever they are or wherever they're from, the appeal of cute and/or interesting things can totally transcend borders anyway, right? At least, that's what I'm also hoping for.
Well, with that said, on with the pictures!
(And also a quick reminder for anyone who might not remember me- unlikecuteanimalpics, I don't put the spider pictures in a seperate post, see here for why. There will be a long blank space before them, though, and warning in advance.)
BALD EAGLETS (not really bald yet)

RING-TAILED CAT (not actually cats)

GLASS LIZARDS (not glass, actually lizards)

LOGGERHEAD SHRIKES (cute little killers)

BISON (bright orange babies)

TURKEYS (couldn't leave them out!)

And of course...
Spidertime! Today's little guy has maybe the most American name ever. You (probably didn't) guessed it, Habronattus americanus! These gorgeously coloured little spiders are black, red, white and iridescent blue. As you can guess, they're found in America, and have even made it onto a stamp in 2009. And although it might look really fancy, it's actually pretty hard to spot in the wild, even if you do live in an area that's its habitat! The reason for this is seen in the third picture- pretty though these spiders may be, they're also really small.

That's all for today, though! Come back tomorrow for more pictures.
