Review “These are hands down the cutest books ever to grace my shelf. For those who need a surge of oxytocin, it’s impossible to pick up either one without smiling ear to ear.” --DiscoverMagazine.com "Page after page of baby tigers, otters, penguins, and apes so overbearingly adorable it hurts just to look at them.” --DailyCandy.com “ Zooborns pulls off the difficult task of being cute and interesting for people of all ages while also being informative.” --BlogCritics.com “The book’s 150 pages is barely enough to contain the sickening cuteness of dozens of snuggly young animals. . . a book rich in both content and visually stunning photography.” --DeepSeaNews.com About the Author Andrew Bleiman is a lifelong animal nerd who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in English Literature and a yet to be recognized minor in Baby Animalogy.

Name: Miracle Kitten Species: Ocelot Home: Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo D.O.B.: 10/31/2008 Status: Least Concern The white circles around ocelots’ eyes reflect light, giving these perfect prowlers exceptional night vision. Sometimes nature needs a little help, and this feisty Miracle Kitten is the result. Only the third ocelot in history to be born through artificial insemination, Miracle Kitten was specifically conceived to bolster this rare species. Reproductive scientists like those who brought Miracle Kitten into the world are key to addressing the conservation and management challenges associated with ocelots.
