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.

Earl LOVES hide and seek... Can you come find him today? #pandalamb #batmansheep #shetlandsheep #sheep #zoo #statenislandzoo #zookeeper Posted by Staten Island Zoo on Saturday, May 9, 2015

Earl was born on April 25 and has been stealing hearts ever since. Who could possibly resist that face?
