The keepers at the Detroit Zoo describe young Amani as "hideously cute," which is fair only if one emphasizes "cute."

Aren't all baby mammals cute? I can't remember one that I didn't think so. The other question is: why do we tend to see these babies as cute?

It must be hard-wired into our systems and all small babies are cute. I think it's the ratio of how big their eyes are to their head....but in this case, it would be his snout!

I am behind you.You can count on it.
