The year in (Animal) pictures #2 - lots of pics

[Kadie]

Here's looking at you, kid: An endangered Philippine tarsier, believed to be the world's smallest primate, smiles for the camera at a breeding center in Loboc, Bohol Island.



Dog's best friend: John Wallace of Kingston Fire and Rescue comes to the aid of Eddie, a Walker hound that fell through the ice on the Cataraqui River in Kingston, Ont.



For my next trick ... A 1 1/2-month-old rosy pelican (center) knows where Mom hides the snacks at the state zoological park in Gauhati, India.



Gooooaaaa-ulp! Soccer practice ends sooner than expected at Hilton Head Prep on Hilton Head Island, S.C.



Chin rest: It's not the most comfy pillow, but it will do for a bushed bear named Ida at the Central Park Zoo in New York.



A long, long rescue: In the rugged backcountry of northwest China's Shaanxi province, a villager named Zhang Baode carries a wild golden monkey wounded by other simians to the nearest road. From there, the animal was driven to a wildlife clinic. Zhang hiked 32 miles before he got the monkey off his back.



Monkey likes Camels: South Africa's Bloemfontein Zoo is trying to get Charlie the chimp to quit, but visitors keep tossing him lit butts. Charlie picked up the bad habit by aping puffing zoogoers.



Pony expression: Mini horses frolick to the max at Limestone Farms in Mason County, Ky.



Wet dog smell ahoy! This soupy Snoopy is ready to shake himself dry in rainy Great Falls, Mont. -- just as soon as he find a nice human to stand next to.
