YouTube is shoving animal videos at me, and so here are some animal videos! Here are 10 minutes of above-average cat videos; it's a compilation; it has annoying narration. Here are four minutes of owl videos with music that is not totally awful. Here is two minutes of an adorable rhinoceros calf getting acquainted with a zookeeper while mom looks on. And finally 3m30s of the most dramatic husky with their thoughts interpreted for the viewer.*

*I've known much more dramatic huskies than this. But wow, still!

An audacious federal plan to protect the spotted owl would eradicate hundreds of thousands of barred owls in the coming years.
