My Little Pony Celestia Themed Chainmail Vest / TheGiantsnoll

This Chainmail vest is themed around Princess Celestia the vest is mainly a frost white to match her coat and has her Cutie Mark adorning both the front and back. The shoulders are in the colors of her mane and tail and they were done in a diagonal pattern, but I noticed when they drape over the shoulder they appear to curve/wave which I thought was cool. I didn’t feel like making full sleeves for several reasons so these shoulder pieces are more for a flourish — via deviantART

Vingt Mille / Mr Jones

In homage to the fearless Captain Nemo, this watch shows the dramatic attack of the giant squid from 20,000 leagues under the sea (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers in the original title). The endless battle between squid and man depicts the time, from hour to hour each appears to be gaining the upper hand. The two men being held by the squid indicate the hours and minutes — via Watchismo

Loki / Turtle Bay Exploration Park

Loki is a very special red fox who came to Turtle Bay Exploration Park at 6 weeks old. He was found as an orphan and could not be released back into the wild. Being so young, he had to go home every night with the animal trainers. Since the What Does the Fox Say video came out, we decided it was an important educational message to let people know what their vocalisations really sound like. Working to put his talking on cue this video shows the first time we worked on it with him. He is quite the character and with 28 different vocalisations, he sure has a lot to say — via Youtube

Cheetah Cubs / Fossil Rim Wildlife Centre

Fossil Rim Wildlife Centre is proud to announce the birth of three new cheetah cubs. The litter was born on 12 October 2013 and consisted of one male and two females. All appear to be in good health.

Their mother, Gracie, is a first-time mother who has proved to be a natural at taking care of her young. The father is Bruce, an 8-year-old male born and hand-raised at Fossil Rim. This was his first litter of cubs and animal care staff is pleasantly surprised by his ability to reproduce; this is uncommon for hand-raised males. Bruce and his brother Moose were pulled from their mom for hand-raising due to illness at a young age.

Haller’s Round Stingray / Tennessee Aquarium

A new Haller’s Round Stingray arrived at the Tennessee Aquarium with a surprise of her own to share: she gave birth to a litter of five on 21 October, soon after her arrival. Each baby now measures about 8 cm, minus the tail, and could grow to be slightly larger than 30 cm in disk size as adults. Stingrays give birth to live young, which absorb nutrients from a yolk sac and then a special uterine milk before birth. Born fully developed, the babies are immediately able to swim and feed, requiring no parental care — via ZooBorns
