zoos (Page 2)
After reading reports of an escaped panda on the streets of Tokyo, we headed out to find out what was going on.
In a country that always appreciates a nice chest, this sexy beast is the latest Internet star.
If you want to see Ueno Zoo’s adorable infant panda, you’ll absolutely want to get there before the gates open.
Facility where Grape-kun spent his days with his anime crush says it has no plans for a statue, hasn’t given permission for an installation.
The cardboard cut-out he fell in love with was moved from the enclosure to be with the penguin as he passed away.
Carnivorous kaiju-lookalike doesn’t yawn because it’s sleepy, though.
Human otaku offer their sympathies and encouragement during the animal’s difficult time.
Ueno Zoo reminds youths that they don’t need anyone’s permission to run away from a dangerous situation.
Otaku love conquers all.
Lost his real-life penguin wife, gained an anime waifu.
Their time together is limited, but for now, these two make an adorable pair.
Yet another example of how tigers shamelessly show no regard for the personal property of others.
”Hey! Over here!”
