The Story Of A Baby Fox Who Died On Lansdowne Street For No F-ing Reason
/A baby fox was in the middle of the road Saturday night on Lansdowne street. Cars saw it and slowed down to avoid hitting it—as any normal, compassionate person would do. One did not, and in fact appeared to speed up, as you'll see in the Facebook post we screen-captured below from someone who witnessed it. And now, that baby fox is dead. Four words for the person driving that car: Karma is a bitch.

Quentin Might Be The Most Adorable Animal Ever
/[UPDATE: Jim Moloney, Manager & Curator at the Zoo, tell us Quentin has finished his quarantine and is now on exhibit!]
ORIGINAL POST:
Meet Quentin, a recent arrival to the Riverview Park & Zoo from Assiniboine Park & Zoo in Winnipeg. Quentin, a rather bashful looking guy, is a Sichuan Takin—a subspecies of takin (goat-antelope). As a new arrival, he's in quarantine as a precaution but should be out in the next two or three weeks for the public to see, the zoo tells us. Get this dude a Twitter and Instagram account so he can take selfies!
