The Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York Aquarium has just welcomed its newest addition: this baby sea lion! The pup was born to Clarice, and is the first to ever be born at the aquarium. She doesn't have a name yet, that will be on the auction block on September 22nd at the WCS's annual benefit dinner and auction—and if you can't afford that honor, the organization is always looking for any donations, lest they're forced to fire more animals! As for the new pup, Jon Dohlin, director of the New York Aquarium, says: “She is very sweet, and we are sure she will become an instant Coney Island celebrity and a favorite among our guests.” more ›

The dog was found dead, allegedly having froze to death, after the plane landed at JFK airport. more ›
