Who doesn’t love baby animals? There is no person too old or too tough that does not turn into a cooing mess when they see the furry, scaly, or fuzzy offspring of the tiniest creatures in the world. We have put together a list of the cutest, most irresistibly adorable animal babies in the world. These are the critters that have put a smile on the saddest people’s faces and made us wish that we could adopt every single one of them.
Baby Hedgehog
You might not have known that a baby hedgehog’s technical name is a “hoglet”. This must be one of the cuter kinds of baby animals, and that is saying something given how many adorable munchkins there are in the world. Those little toes sticking out into the air are too sweet. You can also cuddle them as their spines have not developed to the point where they are painful to hold. They can curl up into spiky balls if they need to, however.
Baby Dolphin
Many people have written and spoken extensively on how incredibly smart dolphins are, but can we take a minute to appreciate baby dolphins? Their limbs develop in utero, which incredibly go back into their bodies and disappear just before they exit their mothers’ wombs. This points to an ancestral link to a creature that was once four-legged and lived on dry earth. Dolphins have more individual qualities that other marine animals do not have. They are far more playful than most sea creatures, loving to surf on waves and blowing rings with bubbles blown out their blowholes. They then pop their works of art with their beaks!
