These Zoos Having a Twitter Duel With #CuteAnimalTweetOff is Everything
In what might be the most delightful Twitter war of all time. Zoos and aquariums across the country faced off for #CuteAnimalTweetOff.
The battle begun after Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington D.C. announced the birth of a gray seal pup:
