Awww!

The Australia Zoo in Queensland showed off their five wittle-baby Tasmanian devils!!

They. Are. So. Cute. And, is it just us, or do they look nothing like Taz??

According to the babies' zookeeper, Warner Brothers depiction of the devil is way off. She says they are soupa shy and timid creatures.

Their birth is big news for the species which is very near extinction.

Creeps Factory!

A zoo in Ukraine is putting this two-headed snake on display, for two months.

Zookeepers say the snake's two heads think completely independently and don't always see eye-to-eye. (Actually they always see eye to eye… but you know what we mean!)

Watch the video to see the creepy crawler in action.

Ouch!

Looks like critics aren't the only honest people in Hollywood!

At the Zookeeper premiere on Wednesday, Kevin James admitted:

"I did get peed on by an elephant. That was the one thing that I hadn't [experienced] before. Now I can check it off my bucket list."

Ew! That's one nassty review!

But not all of Kevins' co-stars though he was as good as a toilet. Donnie Wahlberg, who also stars in the film said:

"I think working with Kevin James is the best. It's good to have someone who doesn't have an ego, who's not afraid to let somebody do their thing and be encouraging and supportive."

How sweet Donnie-Don!

So sad.

Last night animal rights groups came to protest Kevin James' Zookeeper in honor of a giraffe who died on during production.

Tweet, the giraffe on the set who had also been forced to perform in Ace Ventura and a slew of Toys "R" Us commercials.

While giraffes in the wild can live into their mid 20s, Tweet was only 18 years old.

According to a whistleblower who contacted PETA, Tweet's premature death may have resulted from his eating pieces of the blue tarp that covered his enclosure. The whistleblower alleges that Tweet's owner and trainers were notified that the giraffe had been eating the tarp but that they did nothing about it.

RIP Tweet.

So sweet.

A Paraguayan zoo is trying to help find their endangered Hyacinth Macaw a girlfriend.

The birds mate for life, so it won't be easy finding a girlfriend for Coco as both birds need to get along.

With the population so low, let's hope they find him a new mate soon.
