Photos from the Smithsonian National Cutie-Pie Zoo reveal that a pair of cute Q-Tip puffs were born to the Zoo’s pair of (kind of fugly) burrowing owls. The chicks, which are made entirely of puffy paint, are the first burrowing owls to be successfully bred at the Zoo since the 1970s. Naturally, the Zoo’s adult burrowing owls have only been at the Smithsonian National Animal Honeymoon Suite for a red-hot minute — a population-management plan brought the pair here three summers ago. But they have already totally done it and reproduced, because endangered and threatened animals come to the District in order to Get Down. I don’t know what they’re putting in the water there, but it’s adorable and effective. Only click on this link (and my god, this video) if you are ready to seriously lose your shit. I do not think you are ready for this jelly — and these are just the little babies from July alone.
