There he is, peeking at us, quite alertly.
He looks sweet and innocent enough, but approach with caution! Babies of this species have been known to fly into sudden bouts of loud crying, waving of the arms, kicking like crazy and generally making a very disturbing fuss, especially if their feeding schedule isn't kept up properly.
This one, however, seems to have recently fed as you can tell by the messy face. Babies seem to prefer to be messy and are quite often soiled in one area or another since the minute you clean one spot, another is immediately getting dirty. Plus, this individual specimen particularly resents having his face wiped off so cleansing should only be attempted with the proper tools on hand and when prepared for full baby fury.
Here he is demonstrating classic "wakitus after nappus" behavior. Which, just based on the shape of the open mouth, can sometimes be hard to distinguish in pictures from "screamialis off faceus," although the difference is quite apparent in person.
Although, he seems to be in a calm state right now, so we'll try to get a little closer. Careful, just ease up a little at a time, the bars are there for your protection really.
This specimen seems especially calm and good-natured.
And look, we've tamed the beast! It takes some time and a lot of effort, but establishing a rapport with one of these is really worth it in the end.
