In what might be the most adorable Twitter battle of all time, zoos across the country faced off for a "cute animal tweet off" on Wednesday, flooding the social media site with images of koalas, otters and baby animals of all sorts.
The battle started after Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington D.C. announced the birth of a gray seal pup with a photo of the newborn, Mashable reported.
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

Twitter user and Virginia resident Sarah Hill saw the post and issued a challenge to her local aquarium.
Your move @VAAquarium ;-) https://t.co/lhBwalpprO

Not to be outdone, aquarium officials responded with their own cute animal contribution.
