Have you ever heard on a okapi?!?!?! We sure haven't but we're madly in love with this little one!

Parents Zack and Betty welcomed this bundle of CUTEness in early January and the three week old is already 96 pounds!

There are only 100 okapis in captivity in the States, and they are currently listed as "Threatened" on the endangered species list.

This calf is the zoo's first birth of 2013 and we're sure the zoo will love having this new addition!

Congrats on the beautiful babe, Lowry Park!

Why are alligators so ornery?? It's because of their medula oblongata, right? LOLz!

A gator is REALLY angry outside of a Florida home and police had to seal off the streets as the 10 foot beast thrashed around.

Unfortunately, police had to put down the gator after they wrangled him as he was too big to be released in the wild.

Sad…

Luckily for McKayla Maroney, these birds aren't employed by Alfred Hitchcock, so she should be safe!

The Olympic champ visited Busch Gardens Tampa for a chance to hang with some very special animals.

There was even an emu!

The jig is up for a rhesus macaque monkey after more than three years on the lam.

It's believed the monkey first cheesed it in 2009 and has been hiding out in the Tampa area for awhile. He even got his own Facebook page!

But he bit a woman in the neck and that just simply will not do.

The captured primate has been quarantined and if everything checks out, he'll be sent to a sanctuary with other monkeys.

He's even been given a name, Cornelius, from the Planet of the Apes.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Okay, so maybe that was Caesar but you get the point…

LOLz! Silly monkey!

SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!

We just got these amazing pictures in of our trip to Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa this weekend with our pal, musician Kat Graham!

We LOVE theme parks! We LOVE roller coasters! And we LOVE animals!

And Busch Gardens has all of that in a great way!

We even got to meet Kasi, the adorable cheetah, and his canine pal!

We fed the giraffes! Carried a big ol' snake! Pet a cute sloth! Ate lots of yummy yet bad for our diet food! And rode every single coaster!

SUCCESS!!!!

We had the bestest time with Kat!!!
