Our town's new baby dolphin.
Look, I know the rest of the country's all focused on the Panda Cam resuming at the national zoo (which, by the way, just makes me think that I'm not sure why that isn't all privatized in this modern day and age -- nothing against cute little pandas or anything, but should the government for which we are all paying really be in the zoo business?) ... but our Chicago's Brookfield Zoo dolphin community has grown by one calf this week, in case you missed the news.
Pandas may be all cuddly but they do get surprised by simple things like sneezing (as the youtube has well documented), and dolphins are hella smart, yo, so Chitown be representin'. [Ummm ... did I just turn zoological competition into a hip-hop battle?]
