Amazing Photos of Baby Panda
Baby pandas are amazingly small. Each cub weighs only about 3 ½ ounces (100 grams) at birth. No other mammal gives birth to a baby so much smaller than the adult of its species—except marsupials, such as kangaroos, whose newborn babies live in the mother’s pouch until they are more fully developed.
A panda mother must carry her baby around very gently and take care of it until it is big enough to move around on its own. Pandas are known for being very careful and protective mothers. With such tiny babies, they have to be!
Newborn pandas cry for milk about every two hours. Between feedings, a panda mother will rarely put her baby down. When sitting, the mother holds the tiny creature in her paw. When she is on the move, she carries the baby gently in her mouth. Panda cubs can walk on their own when they are about three months old.

The Mounted Life is a series of photographs by Royal Academy of Arts graduate Danielle van Ark. She visited the storage and archives of museums around the world and found animals in surroundings and environments so far from their natural habitats she was struck by the inherent contrast and photographed them. The series makes the most of the juxtaposition of wildlife and industrial imagery. The images are disturbing, funny, haunting, confrontational and even touching in their composition and subject matter.

Tattoos have become less of a taboo and far more mainstream in the past decade. Two reality shows are focused on tattoo artists, many magazines are published specifically about the craft and tons of products have hit the market that either sport tattoos or are tattoo-inspired, be them dishes, furniture or clothes.
Belgian artist Wim Delvoye launched an Art Farm Pigs Growth Fund whereby people can invest in his swine farm outside Beijing in China. This farm, established in 2005, has nine boars and sows which are tattooed with a variety of designs created by Delvoye and three other tattooists in residence. “The pigs art fund will be an official Chinese company which I hope to launch in the next few weeks”, he says. “The new bonds and pig farm shares scheme make the mechanisms of the art market so transparent”, he added.
21 Adorable Cat and Dog Photography
The photos we have here are for everyone. These will struck a chord not only with photography enthusiasts but with practically everyone who cannot help but gush over all creatures furry, especially cat and dogs. Now these two are considered proverbial enemies. Place them in an enclosed area and you will only be asking for trouble. Soon, you will hear shrieks and growling to make your blood boil. But that’s not always the case, as demonstrated by (most of) these photos. Perhaps you’re one of the pet-owners out there who has canine and feline friends who get along. Consider yourself lucky. And while you’re at it, take out your camera and chronicle the most adorable relationship that you will ever witness.
Here are some tips to help you along: Get close. If they are your pets, they probably are already familiar with your camera. So get close and capture their paws or noses together. Of course, if they are taking a photo of a dog and cat that you have never met before, getting close is out of the question. Either of them will get protective of each other and attack you. Use a good lens if you want to capture the tender moment. Another tip to remember is to consider their point of view. Don’t limit yourself from taking a photo in an upright or even sitting position. Crouch or better yet, place the camera on the ground to take a great photo. Other things to consider are capturing movement and letting the personality of your furry friends shine through the photos.
