The Smithsonian National Zoo has two new additions and after you see them you're going to want to pinch their cheeks...I mean, beaks.



The zoo's 100th and 101st flamingos were hatched this week. The pair are being hand-reared until they're old enough to make their public debut. In the meantime, the zoo posted a sneak peak on their YouTube channel, so we can all see that they're happy, healthy and downright adorable.
