Taking two cute things and putting them together makes for a cuteness explosion. This is definitely true for the Staten Island Zoo's newest family member, Earl the pandalamb.
Unfortunately, a pandalamb is not a magical new breed of cuddliness. Earl is just a lamb who happens to kind of look like a panda. Luckily, this is an adorable combination.
It's not totally clear why Earl was blessed with such distinctive markings, since neither of his parents look remotely panda-like. But the distinctive look totally suits Earl.
