MOM FWDS: Baby Royal Antelope Ready For His Closeup

(Presenting MOM FWDS: Posts you should forward to your Mom, who will then forward it to the rest of the population of Earth. God bless Moms.)

The most delicate of tiny-hoofed creatures was brought into this world yesterday, as a newborn royal antelope was born at the San Diego Zoo. The miniature deershaped angel weighs in at only 2.3 nanopounds (proper royal antelope weight unit equaling 17 ounces) and has to be fed out of a tiny baby bottle… and we have PHOTOS AND VIDEO TO PROVE IT:

If that bottle doesn’t work, feel free to ask my own bosom to do the job, as I’m currently ‘actatin up a storm by mere sight of these photos.

Royal Antelopes are nocturnal creatures found usually in West Africa, and they average in at about 9 to 10 pounds.

Their noses were also the inspirations for chocolate chips and angel stools.

Their feet can double as periods on the end of sentences.


The good news: There is video of this little angel moving!

Let us hope this little Royal Antelope doesn’t go the way of Rupert, our first tiny-hoofed love.
