The big-mouthed predators do look cute when they're small. I'm not sure why. Baby SA Red-tails are really cute too.

They are always cool, but the cute looks stop at some time. At the recent OCA Extravaganza Auction, Jonathan Strazinky of http://www.monsterfishrescue.com sold the 3' Redtail-Tigershovelnose-Hybird shown below. There were losts of 'oh's and 'ah's, but I didn't here anybody say: 'how cute' ;-)
