Meet The Fuwa Puppies

I wrote this post a little while back and set it to auto-publish but it did not work and I did not check until just now to realize that two months have passed! This news is a little stale but since it has already been written I might as well publish it.

The following are photos of five new born Boston terrier puppies that were born on 8th August, 2008. The owner, Xing Changhai, lives in Hainan Province, China.

To commemorate the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, these extremely cute puppies have been named after the five Beijing Olympic mascots, the Fuwa.

Could you tell which one is Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying or Nini? I definitely could not tell them apart!

Parrots In Love In Nanjing, China

This is probably stale news to some of you but I was looking for animal stories in China, specifically, in view of the on-going Summer Olympics in Beijing, China right now when I stumbled upon this story of a pair of parrot lovers in Nanjing, China.

A pair of love birds is not rare but I really love this image. The colours are so vibrant and striking, don’t you think so?

Piglet With Monkey Face

A piglet is cute, a baby monkey is cute, but when a piglet is born with a monkey face, I wonder if it is wise to rear it. A piglet like this has been born to a family in rural China. This piglet is one of five piglets born; though the other four are born normal, thankfully.

I tell you, this animal is just so scary that pregnant ladies better don't look at it. Yet, there are local tourists travelling to the rural village of Fengzhang in Xiping where the owner, Feng Changlin and his family live.

I think it would be better to put it to sleep, even though I am an animal lover myself! One thing's for sure, this piglet, if it survives to adulthood, should not breed. What do you think? For the full news report, check out The Telegraph UK.
