Cute Lion Cub abandoned by its mother uses staff as Parent<br />
<br />
A lion club abandoned by its mother has developed a parental relationship with its care-taker in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. An Asiatic Lioness gave birth to three cubs at Machia Safari Park on October 22. But the mother soon deserted trio within days. The separation resulted in the death of two cubs, while the third one was rescued by the park’s staff. <br />
<br />
The cub is fed bottled milk at an interval four hours everyday. Dr Shravan Singh, one his care-takers at the centre, says: “The baby starts crying whenever it feels hungry. It responds to our command and loves to caressed before being fed. The baby thinks that we are its parents. So demands the due care and attention from us.”<br />
<br />
The forest rangers intend to release the cub back into the wild after four to five months when it gains weight and is able to defend itself. <br />

  • My dog went from cute to ugly<br />
<br />
What a difference a year makes.<br />
When Faye Klysz chose a super cute Chihuahua puppy as a gift from her husband at Christmas last year, she imagined being the envy of her friends in trendy Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.<br />
Fast-forward 12 months and the picture is very different, with pals branding Busby “the ugliest dog on Instagram”. With more than 2,800 followers on social media, @BusbyTheRatDog is gaining a fan base for all the wrong reasons.<br />
Faye said: “I picked Busby when he was two days old because he was really cute. He was all smooth-haired and beautiful. His mum and dad were both stunning; real show dogs.<br />
“But, by the summer, his hair had completely taken over and become completely freaky!”<br />
Busby has left his new family and even the experts baffled as to his bizarre appearance.<br />
“Busby is from a litter of five and all the others are as beautiful as the mum and dad with their lovely smooth hair,” said Faye. “The breeder said they’ve never had a dog like Busby and even the vet said they’d never come across one like him from such pretty parents.<br />
“He’s a complete throwback; a bit of a freak of nature.”<br />
While his owner thought her pint-sized pup would draw attention for his good looks, quite the opposite has become true.<br />
“People stop me in the street to ask what he is,” said Faye, who also has a Boxer dog called Benson. “They even say ‘oh isn’t he pretty’ and I reply ‘no he’s not, he’s really ugly’! He is really cute, but only because he is so ugly.<br />
“A friend suggested I set up an Instagram account for him and within a couple of months he has attracted almost 3,000 followers. I’ve got friends with business accounts who say they can’t achieve anywhere near that kind of following. I try and take one or two photos a day of him to post and he’s creating quite a stir on social media.<br />
“He’s absolutely gorgeous to me. He’s a showstopper, that’s for sure.”<br />

  • My dog went from cute to ugly<br />
<br />
What a difference a year makes.<br />
When Faye Klysz chose a super cute Chihuahua puppy as a gift from her husband at Christmas last year, she imagined being the envy of her friends in trendy Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.<br />
Fast-forward 12 months and the picture is very different, with pals branding Busby “the ugliest dog on Instagram”. With more than 2,800 followers on social media, @BusbyTheRatDog is gaining a fan base for all the wrong reasons.<br />
Faye said: “I picked Busby when he was two days old because he was really cute. He was all smooth-haired and beautiful. His mum and dad were both stunning; real show dogs.<br />
“But, by the summer, his hair had completely taken over and become completely freaky!”<br />
Busby has left his new family and even the experts baffled as to his bizarre appearance.<br />
“Busby is from a litter of five and all the others are as beautiful as the mum and dad with their lovely smooth hair,” said Faye. “The breeder said they’ve never had a dog like Busby and even the vet said they’d never come across one like him from such pretty parents.<br />
“He’s a complete throwback; a bit of a freak of nature.”<br />
While his owner thought her pint-sized pup would draw attention for his good looks, quite the opposite has become true.<br />
“People stop me in the street to ask what he is,” said Faye, who also has a Boxer dog called Benson. “They even say ‘oh isn’t he pretty’ and I reply ‘no he’s not, he’s really ugly’! He is really cute, but only because he is so ugly.<br />
“A friend suggested I set up an Instagram account for him and within a couple of months he has attracted almost 3,000 followers. I’ve got friends with business accounts who say they can’t achieve anywhere near that kind of following. I try and take one or two photos a day of him to post and he’s creating quite a stir on social media.<br />

  • My dog went from cute to ugly<br />
<br />
What a difference a year makes.<br />
When Faye Klysz chose a super cute Chihuahua puppy as a gift from her husband at Christmas last year, she imagined being the envy of her friends in trendy Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.<br />
Fast-forward 12 months and the picture is very different, with pals branding Busby “the ugliest dog on Instagram”. With more than 2,800 followers on social media, @BusbyTheRatDog is gaining a fan base for all the wrong reasons.<br />
Faye said: “I picked Busby when he was two days old because he was really cute. He was all smooth-haired and beautiful. His mum and dad were both stunning; real show dogs.<br />
“But, by the summer, his hair had completely taken over and become completely freaky!”<br />
Busby has left his new family and even the experts baffled as to his bizarre appearance.<br />
“Busby is from a litter of five and all the others are as beautiful as the mum and dad with their lovely smooth hair,” said Faye. “The breeder said they’ve never had a dog like Busby and even the vet said they’d never come across one like him from such pretty parents.<br />
“He’s a complete throwback; a bit of a freak of nature.”<br />

“But, by the summer, his hair had completely taken over and become completely freaky!”<br />
Busby has left his new family and even the experts baffled as to his bizarre appearance.<br />
“Busby is from a litter of five and all the others are as beautiful as the mum and dad with their lovely smooth hair,” said Faye. “The breeder said they’ve never had a dog like Busby and even the vet said they’d never come across one like him from such pretty parents.<br />
“He’s a complete throwback; a bit of a freak of nature.”<br />
While his owner thought her pint-sized pup would draw attention for his good looks, quite the opposite has become true.<br />
“People stop me in the street to ask what he is,” said Faye, who also has a Boxer dog called Benson. “They even say ‘oh isn’t he pretty’ and I reply ‘no he’s not, he’s really ugly’! He is really cute, but only because he is so ugly.<br />
“A friend suggested I set up an Instagram account for him and within a couple of months he has attracted almost 3,000 followers. I’ve got friends with business accounts who say they can’t achieve anywhere near that kind of following. I try and take one or two photos a day of him to post and he’s creating quite a stir on social media.<br />
“He’s absolutely gorgeous to me. He’s a showstopper, that’s for sure.”<br />

  • Mother Of Two Makes Cute Japanese Inspired Lunches For Her Kids<br />
<br />
Li Ming, a mother of two in Singapore, creates adorable character bento (or kyaraben) lunches and dinners for her children.<br />
<br />
Sometimes Ming comes up with her own ideas, but she also takes requests from her two sons – Ivan Tey, 10, and Lucas Tey, 7. Together, they’ve all come up with brilliant bento lunch ideas – from Hello Kitty and Spiderman to Spongebob and Super Mario.<br />
<br />
Li Ming publishes many of her lunches on her blog and on Instagram,<br />
@bentomonsters, sometimes even posting how-to tutorials. She does, however, keep some of them secret in anticipation for her upcoming book. Be sure to follow her blog for more cute and delicious lunch ideas<br />
<br />
“I started out packing kyrabens for them to bring to school in 2011 but stopped last year after my older boy changed to the morning session,” <br />
<br />
“My boys have been bringing undecorated bentos to school since last year. These food that I share are for their lunch or dinner at home.“<br />
<br />
“These lunches usually take around half an hour to make, excluding the cooking of food. Most take shorter than half an hour, some take longer.“<br />
<br />
“The food must still taste good,  I try to keep that in mind when making my food art. This is because my boys won’t want to eat food that don’t taste good, regardless of how amazing it looks.”<br />
“The book is still in progress, estimated to be out in the US fall of next year.<br />

Sometimes Ming comes up with her own ideas, but she also takes requests from her two sons – Ivan Tey, 10, and Lucas Tey, 7. Together, they’ve all come up with brilliant bento lunch ideas – from Hello Kitty and Spiderman to Spongebob and Super Mario.<br />
<br />
Li Ming publishes many of her lunches on her blog and on Instagram,<br />
@bentomonsters, sometimes even posting how-to tutorials. She does, however, keep some of them secret in anticipation for her upcoming book. Be sure to follow her blog for more cute and delicious lunch ideas<br />
<br />
“I started out packing kyrabens for them to bring to school in 2011 but stopped last year after my older boy changed to the morning session,” <br />
<br />
“My boys have been bringing undecorated bentos to school since last year. These food that I share are for their lunch or dinner at home.“<br />
<br />
“These lunches usually take around half an hour to make, excluding the cooking of food. Most take shorter than half an hour, some take longer.“<br />
<br />
“The food must still taste good,  I try to keep that in mind when making my food art. This is because my boys won’t want to eat food that don’t taste good, regardless of how amazing it looks.”<br />
“The book is still in progress, estimated to be out in the US fall of next year.<br />

  • Inside Australia's BAT hospital - where adorable abandoned baby creatures are wrapped in blankets and fed with bottles<br />
<br />
We've gone batty for these cute pictures, which show tiny abandoned baby bats wrapped up in blankets, being fed from bottles.<br />
Swathed in spotted and striped blankets, the fruit bats are being cared for at the Tolga Bat Hospital in Atherton, Australia.<br />
About 300 bat pups are orphaned every year because their mother is ill and can't feed them or has died from tick paralysis.<br />
<br />
<br />
Normally we associate bats with being blood-thirsty, but all these cute critters want to drink is some bottled milk. <br />
These furry creatures are too injured to return to the wild and need to be nursed back to health. <br />
Pictured at the hospital, the black flying animals can be seen sucking on bottles, while they are swaddled in colourful blankets. <br />
<br />
<br />
The bats can also be seen bathing in the bathroom sink and even having their hair combed by workers at the hospital. <br />
The Tolga Bat Hospital is a community group working for the conservation of bats and their natural habitat.<br />
The volunteers care for bats who have come from hundreds of kilometres away in need for urgent care. And they also take in bats for sanctuary after they have been retired from zoos. <br />
<br />
<br />
Volunteers at the hospital spend their time caring for the bats, nursing them back to health and then release them back into the wild when they are ready.<br />
According to the Tolga Bat Hospital's website: 'caring for sick or young animals is like caring for sick or young humans, many tasks are very repetitive but your love and respect for the animals will make it very rewarding.'<br />
Tick paralysis is killing hundreds of flying foxes in Australia each year.<br />
<br />
During the 1990s, flying foxes were mysteriously dying on the Atherton Tableland. <br />
Researchers found that tick paralysis was the problem, prohibiting bats from flying and therefore dooming them to a life on the ground. <br />
Ticks rely on the weather to survive. <br />

<br />
We've gone batty for these cute pictures, which show tiny abandoned baby bats wrapped up in blankets, being fed from bottles.<br />
Swathed in spotted and striped blankets, the fruit bats are being cared for at the Tolga Bat Hospital in Atherton, Australia.<br />
About 300 bat pups are orphaned every year because their mother is ill and can't feed them or has died from tick paralysis.<br />

  • Student Couldn’t Find A Date For Prom So He Took His Cat Instead<br />
<br />
Finding a date for Prom can be a stressful experience for many. Just ask Sam Steingard. With the big date drawing ever nearer, the 18-year-old singleton from The States still hadn’t found a girl to take. So instead of going alone or refusing to go at all, he did what any rational and sound-minded person would do in such a situation. He took Ruby, his cat.<br />
Ok, so he didn’t take his cat to the actual dance (as it might have been too stressful for her) but he did at least pose for some prom photos with her. They might not have gone to prom together but they still make a pretty cute couple!<br />

  • The real Paddington Bears: Train company launch appeal to reunite teddies left on carriages and platforms with their owners <br />
<br />
These adorable mug shots show the lost teddy bears left on carriages and platforms that one train company are hoping to reunite with their owners.<br />
<br />
First Great Western has launched the appeal in time for Christmas and allows people to look through a series of images to see if their toys have been found.<br />
<br />
The firm are using mug shot type pictures, which show the cuddly bears and detail their height, weight, the date where they were found and at which station.<br />
<br />
Their website enables people to submit a search for a teddy, even if they are unable to remember exactly where it was lost.<br />
<br />
The vast array of bears and dolls are now being stored in lost property offices across the south of England, with the bulk being held in a vault at Bristol Temple Meads station.<br />
<br />
First Great Western, which covers the Thames Valley, Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex, Devon and Cornwall, is hoping to repatriate all the bears before Christmas.<br />
<br />
It is thought the campaign has been inspired by release of the new Paddington Bear film later this month.<br />
<br />
The movie, based on a series of books, tells the story of of a Peruvian bear, with a love of marmalade sandwiches, who is sent to England by his Aunt Lucy when she goes to live in a home for retired bears in Lima.<br />
<br />
He is discovered by the Brown family at Paddington station and is taken in to live with them.<br />
<br />
A spokesperson for the train company said: 'Unable to negotiate the gap unaided, these little bears and other cute cuddly toys have been separated from their families.<br />
<br />
'Eventually, aided by our helpful and friendly staff, they have found their way to Lost Property in the vaults of Bristol Temple Meads Station.<br />
<br />
'They have been fed, looked after and many adventures have been had. But now they are missing loved ones and want to return home.'<br />
