You may recognize this feline as a former "first pet" — Socks joined the Clinton family for both terms in the White House. After they left in early 2001, the kitty took up residence in Hollywood, MD, with Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie. The cat was nearly 18 and battling lung cancer when Currie confirmed Socks's death this evening, saying that she was "heartbroken." Follow Socks's story and start this slideshow of his big moments during the DC years. We'll miss you!
Gizmo's mama wasn't feeling too motherly as she hadn't fed this babe since its birth on Feb. 15. Soooo, animal tenders at the Budapest Zoo Park and Botanic Garden had to step in and feed the little one instead.
With only about 30,000 existing in the wild, the Nile Lechwe antelopeis native to swamps and floodplains of the Nile River Valley in Africa. Now we may have forgotten the few things we know about the species, but it's clear how they settled on her name – she looks like that Gremlins creature with those ears, don't you think? Look at the photos below and tell me if you agree!

In my opinion, there are never enough furry friends in Oscar-nominated movies, even though one big winner in 2008 included a gruesome dog scene. I took a look at this year's nominated films and nominees, then tried to come up with as many wild facts as I could about the actors and the movies in question. If you think you know a thing or two (or seven) about the 2009 Oscars, take my quiz and see if you really do.
