The Mozilla Foundation has adopted two baby red pandas, a move intended to highlight the species' threatened status.

The red pandas, or firefoxes, were born at the Knoxville zoo in Tenessee and can be observed 24 hours a day through a dedicated webcam. The cubs also have a Twitter feed. They are currently unnamed, but you can submit name suggestions.

Nintendo's Wii has been pretty good to furries who enjoy "Zelda-esque" 3-D platformers. The console shipped with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, featuring a lupine Link, followed shortly by the generally considered superior port of ?kami. The console's backwards compatibility also brought the ridiculously furry Star Fox Adventures to the table.

Now Disney Interactive's Epic Mickey is continuing the tradition. But does the game give as good as the above?

The focus of the auction is fur coats, including a tanuki coat. However, there's a variety of other lots, including the aforementioned bat – a present for illustrator James Marshall, reminiscent of the lead character in The Gilded Bat. There's also a plush Figbash of the kind which accompanied the 26 lettered copies of The Raging Tide, a choose-your-own-adventure-style book by Gorey.

But you'd better get down to the New York auction house at 6 West 48th Street quickly – bidding starts at 11AM Eastern today. (Bids also accepted at Live Auctioneers and the-saleroom.com)

Animals United, released in Germany and Switzerland on October 7, and to be released in the United Kingdom on December 17, is a 3D animated movie featuring a variety of anthropomorphic animals. Inspired by the novel The Animals' Conference by German writer Erich Kästner, the plot concerns life on the African savannah as the construction of a dam causes the rivers and watering holes to dry up.

In addition to expected African species such as meerkets, lions, rhinos, and elephants, the film also features animals less likely to be found in that environment, including a rooster, a polar bear, a kangaroo, a Tasmanian devil, and two Galapagos tortoises.
