Tortoises need love too!!

An aldabra giant tortoise named Rocket has been housed at the Tulsa Zoo since 2009, but because he didn't find a mate there — he flew to New York City today to try his luck at love at the Bronx Zoo.

But before he took off, the Tulsa Zoo gave Rocket a farewell PAR-TAY, and boy did he have fun.

Wanna see the tortoise's BIG bash?!? Hit that play button (above)!

People: LEAVE TIGERS ALONE!!!!

A 25-year-old man jumped into the tiger pit at the Bronx Zoo in what appeared to be a suicide attempt.

The zoo's Siberian tiger exhibit is only visible by monorail, which prompted David Villalobos, riding in the last car, to leap from the train.

The tiger mauled Villalobos, biting his arm, back, and legs. Zookeepers used a fire house to get the tiger away from the man and EMTs performed care on Villalobos.

No ones knows why the man jumped into the tiger pit but Bronx Zoo Director Jim Breheny says the tiger did nothing wrong and won't be put down.

Check out the crazy story (above) RIGHT NOW!

Awww…look at the little cutie!!!!

A Caribbean flamingo chick is taking its first steps at the Bronx Zoo.

This babe has to build up those leg muscles early, as they will become LOOOONNG and need to be sturdy to support its body.

Right now, the mama will have to help it stand but soon, it will be able to do it alone.

Welcome to the world, little one!fl

We just LOVE to see how much fun Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise, seem to having together these days!

Especially when it involves such AH-mazing animal friends like these!

Although the actress was expected to walk the red carpet at an event for her Dizzy Feet Foundation yesterday in Los Angeles, she instead chose to opt of that in order to bring her daughter to the Bronx Zoo, where the pair spent the afternoon feeding giraffes!

Just LOOK at how much they're having (above)!

Can't say we blame Katie for wanting to hold off professional obligations for the time being!

Right now her focus should be right where it is - on her daughter!

Wonder how little Suri felt when she noticed those furry, long-necked guys had PURPLE TONGUES! Ha!

Hope you two had a WONDERFUL day!
