Vicious Babies: Tough, Deadly and Adorable.

I started my Monday by watching a new video produced by BBC Planet Wild. The short film is part of the ?Tiny Beasts? series, and it?s intriguing title grabbed my attention immediately. ?Vicious Babies? provides a look at some of the most ferocious, poisonous and otherwise lethal newborns around. I love this idea because it?s quite the opposite of the massive volume of material that is dedicated to ?cute? babies. Ok, so the baby crocodile may look rather adorable and unassuming ? but watch it snatch and drown its prey and the adorable-factor declines quite a bit. A fun video, and an interesting series!
