Twitter is the new battleground. First politics. Now zoos.

Welcome to the #cuteanimaltweetoff.

Zoos across the country have joined in a little friendly competition of adorable animals.

It began when the Smithsonian's National Zoo tweeted a picture of a gray seal pup.

We welcomed a gray seal pup Jan. 21. The pup appears to be nursing, moving & bonding well w/ mom. https://t.co/l0Bzu7g8ek #Squee pic.twitter.com/nEhuJe6vBk

After that, it was game on.

The Virginia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, The Bronx Zoo, and others joined in on the friendly competition.
