...but they are ridiculously cute.  I also don't know whose picture this is (the photo says "J. Gellatly"?), but it is so adorable I can't stand it.  If you have an inkling what these baby animals might be, please tell me.  They look a little like baby squirrels to me; my brother said meerkats, but I know that's not it.  Hmm.....

Ooh! I think you might be right! Thanks!

Also, you should get a cookie just for knowing about the existence of such squirrels. Yes, two cookies, in fact. :D
