Reno the "hurricane cat" wasn't the only adorable critter whose story will forever be tied to Hurricane Irene—during the middle of the storm, a lamb was born at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Central Park Zoo. She's been named "Irene Hope," she's ridiculously cute, and she sounds like a kazoo. Watch below:

Baby Lamb Saved from Bronx Slaughterhouse
Oh baby! Last night this cute little lamb was born on a transport truck on the way to a Bronx slaughterhouse. Luckily, a good samaritan and Farm Sanctuary swooped in and saved him, eventually bringing the little guy to their shelter in Watkins Glen, NY. Sadly, the mother didn't have such luck, and went to slaughter with the rest on board the truck.
"The minutes old lamb was discovered by a Good Samaritan who was shopping at an Italian market just a few doors down from the slaughterhouse when the truck arrived. Wanting to get a closer look at the sheep as they were unloaded, the woman walked over to the truck and was shocked to discover a newborn lamb among the herd, as well as a less fortunate lamb who had been trampled to death during transport.more ›
