Two baby tigers and a baby chimp are on Capitol Hill today.

We are too distracted by the cute to report exactly why the tiger cubs and baby chimpanzee were hanging out at the Longworth House Office Building.

However, we can report that one baby tiger and the baby chimp hugged. We can also report that Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) held a tiger cub. Pictures after the jump.
