It’s been another stellar week in the animal kingdom, with new arrivals and forever adorable kittens to put us in a good mood this Friday.

From Gary the pup who seriously regretted licking a lemon, to the endangered silvery gibbon born in Chester this week, we’re pretty sure there’s enough here to put a smile on your face. 

1. A welcome arrival.

The silvery gibbon – a highly endangered primate – was born to mum Tilu and dad Alven on Wednesday 10 October at Chester Zoo. Just look at those little eyes ?

2. The ‘big hairy man’ kangaroo. 

Someone need a towel? This kangaroo that “looks like a big hairy man… caught in the act of bathing himself” is everything. 

3. The dog who will not be defeated. 

We pity the fool who tries to keep this German Shepherd from his food. Top points for determination. 

4. The best kind of surprise.

Wait for it, wait for it… BAM look at that adorable kitten. Also, that mew ?

5. A bitter mistake. 

Last but not least is Gary, who learned the hard way that when life gives you lemons, you don’t lick them. So much regret.
