Baby Walrus

This marine animal happens to be equally adorable to the other critters on this list. That being said, even as babies, walruses are much, much larger than most baby animals on this list! And the males will continue to grow into 4,400-pound heavyweights in adulthood. Walruses prefer to live on top of sea ice, where they scour the chilly surfaces for benthic bivalve mollusks for their diets. You can find walruses in continental shelves within the pockets of shallow waters.

Baby Chinchilla

This type of crepuscular rodent is called a chinchilla, which can only be found roaming in the wild in Chile in rare colonies. They were once prevalent in many South American countries like Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia, beyond Chile. As for their fur, it is the densest out of all terrestrial mammals. This makes them a supremely popular target of hunters and poachers, who sell their extremely gentle fur for a large profit. Sadly, this overhunting has led to their endangered status back in 2016.
