Houston Zoo Cute-Off: The Second Round. No Monkeys Allowed

The first round of voting in the great Houston Zoo Cute-Off is finished, and one thing is clear: Everyone hates Baylor the baby elephant. And Houston is no place for Saki Monkeys.

Actually, we’re kidding about Baylor. But not about the Saki Monkey. Dude got stomped by a meerkat, for crying out loud.

Now begins Round Two. New pictures!! (All by our Christopher Patronella, Jr.) Tougher choices!! Will it be…

1. Lou, the Tenrec?

2. Bonnie, the Guinea Pig
