Prince Hisahito encounters cute animals

Prince Hisahito, the grandson of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, visited Ueno Zoo for a photo op with some cute animals:

The prince spent time petting and handling rabbits and guinea pigs and caring for Tokara goats at the Children’s Zoo.

When he encountered a rabbit, he asked staff how to hold it. He also moved guinea pigs from a raised platform onto the floor, where he crouched down to pet them

More photos can be found on the websites of the Sankei Shimbun, the Yomiuri Shimbun, and the AFP.

He’s a cute little kid but it’s got to be hard to grow up in the imperial family.

Wow, if that’s not completely adorable, I don’t know what is. :) ))
