Wild animals on stamps? Oh, baby!

The Postal Service will release its Baby Wild Animals stamps on Friday, May 23.

The stamps feature illustrations of 10 familiar American animal species as babies.

The animals — fox, owl, deer, seal, rabbit, raccoon, bear, skunk, bobcat and chipmunk — range widely across the United States.

Tracy Walker created the digital illustrations, layering colored shapes on a solid-color background in a palette of rust orange, cornflower blue, pale ecru, black and white.

Each animal appears with details of its habitat — flowers, leaves, water and other natural elements.

Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps, which will be available in booklets of 20 at Post Offices and on usps.com.

The Forever stamps will debut at the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show in Aurora, CO.
