Things are tough right now, but so are bears. But do you know what else bears are? They’re adorable. I wanted to do another light-hearted article so I give to you; THE CUTEST ANIMALS (In My Opinion)
LIONS
They’re just big house cats that could kill you! Look how cute it is! Did you know that when lion cubs play-attack their parents, the parents act as if they’ve been hurt to encourage the young?! Adorable!
TIGERS
Another big house cat with deadly tendencies. Tigers are so majestic and beautiful, but they can also be adorable! A couple lil’ facts about tigers are that they have white spots on the back of their ears to look like eyes to predators, and that when they make chuffing noises, it’s actually their way of saying they don’t mean any harm.
BEARS
I KNOW you didn’t think I would do lions, tigers, and then not do bears afterward! Bears are actually sooo cute, they’re so big and chunky and they have cute little paws and they look like teddy bears! It’s just adorable!
PANDAS
Okay, I know pandas are bears, but they’re just so cute! They’re actually quite unfriendly in the wild, but look how adorable they are! I’d happily die in a panda’s fluffy arms!
QUOKKAS
LOOK AT IT!!! Quokkas are an indigenous animal on Rottnest Island. They have no predators and have never been hunted, so they’re extremely social and friendly. Because they only exist there, they are a tourist attraction and are under protection by the government. They always look so happy!!!
KOALAS
Koalas just always look like stuffed animals! They’re also very unfriendly in the wild, but who cares?! Their noses are like weird little beak-like things and they have cute little teddy bear-ears!
SLOTHS
Sloths are just so- AAAAH!! They’re so slow and they look so chill and happy! And they’re actually big cuddlers, I’d love to just read a book with a sloth on my arm!
AXOLOTLS
Axolotls are so weird and cute! They have little smiles and little weird things on the sides of their heads! I would love to have a pet axolotl!!
BLOBFISH
I couldn’t put cute sea creatures on this list and NOT include blobfish! Everyone else may think they’re hideous, but I think they’re perfectly dashing! Look at their weird big noses and slime! They’re like HD Minecraft villagers!
GOATS
Goats are honestly so underrated! These are really big ones, which look super cool, but there are also totally adorable mini goats! They’re so fun and feisty, and many of them are actually great with children! I plan to get a Nigerian Dwarf goat when I’m older.
COWS
LOOK AT THE SMILE! Cows are generally thought of as big dirty animals with flies all around them, but cows that are well taken care of are absolutely adorable! If you left a dog out in a muddy pen with manure all over the place, it would be just as raggedy looking as cows are thought to be.
DOGS
Speaking of dogs, how have I not mentioned cats and dogs yet! This is a given, really, but important nonetheless! I’m just an animal person, but if I had to choose between cats and dogs, I’d pick dogs.
CATS
Look at this cat! I love when animals have heterochromia, and this one’s eyes look like springtime! Cats come two ways; wild and mischievous, or lazy and calm. I’ll take them both!
FERRETS
Ferrets are totally underrated as a housepet! They’re a lot of work, and you have to be careful not to move too quickly around them, but they’re so fun and cute! They’re like long furry snakes!
SNAKES
Speaking of snakes, I love snakes. Look at their cute little nostril things and how cute they are when they slither! It’s probably one of my most controversial animal opinions, but I stand by it. Snakes are cute, people.
RACCOONS
Raccoons are one of my favorite wild animals! They’re the crackheads of the animal kingdom and I love it. They’re so clever and sneaky, but they’re so fluffy and chunky and adorable!
FLAMINGOS
Flamingos are a little odd to say the least. They’re PINK birds with PINK legs and they only sleep on ONE of them! So odd, but so cool and fun looking!
So there you have it. Some of the cutest animals I could think of. I tried not to put any baby animals in here because many people think that all animals are cute when they’re little, so I wanted to show that these animals are cute as adults too! I loved writing this article and looking through all of these pictures, and I hope you did too!
