Pictures of kittens and puppies are OK, how about a a newborn spectacled owl or an infant-veiled chameleon?

The Boston Globe has a gallery of adorable exotic animals from zoos across the planet. Some of them are cute (polar bears), and some of them are not so cute (the "precious" 284-lb. baby elephant).

The factoids accompanying the photos make your time-wasting educational.

For more straight-up cuteness, check out ZooBorns -- a self-explanatory blog we love that features daily doses of fresh animals -- like the Fennec Fox above.
