Red Panda Cubs / Perth Zoo

Two seven-week-old endangered Red Panda cubs had their first visit to the veterinarian at Australia’s Perth Zoo. Though the zoo staff has kept a watchful eye on the cubs since their 8 December birth, this is the first time the red pandas received a hands-on health check.  During the exam, the cubs got a quick health assessment, then had their body condition, eyes, teeth, ears and weight checked by the veterinary staff — via  ZooBorns

The four-month-old Ringtail possums, nicknamed Ernie and Bert, arrived at Taronga Wildlife Hospital with their mother last week. Taronga staffer Di Scott is providing round-the-clock care to the twin brothers, carrying a makeshift pouch and waking at 3.00am to feed the joeys — via Youtube

Eldritch Horror Baby Crib / Garrick Andus

It’s only March, but Imgur member rentdownstairs has already locked up the Father of the Year competition. He wanted to get a custom crib to pass down as an heirloom to our children. So he commissioned Atlanta-based woodworker Garrick Andus to carve a crib inspired by the horror imagery of HP Lovecraft. Its spreading, writhing, all-consuming tentacles express the hopes that all of us fathers have for their children — via Neatorama

EL Wire on a Brain Bag / Red Wolf

Two 1.5m (5′) lengths of EL wire attached to a Tom Bihn Brain Bag.

You can plug and play EL wire units from many suppliers, but you’ll need to add a Y connector if you want to run a pair.

The 1.5m length gives a slight overlap. The controller sits in the top pocket. The EL wire is attached to the pocket trim using 19mm foldback clips. The clip arms can be easily removed (as shown) or reattached, making it easy to swap out the EL wire as needed — via Youtube
