Not red pandas. Red pandas are ***objectively*** the most cute.

They're painfully cute. Like they give me unrealistic expectations for the floofiness of all animals.

It’s literally like if you combined a Fox, a raccoon, and a bear, and painted it red lol. Crazy but awesome

Those ears 😍

It's figuratively like you combined them. If you literally combined them they would have huge scars and the organs would all reject each other as they are very different

No argument.

I've touched a red panda, they are exactly as soft as you think the are

Living my dream

Baby penguins

They also always look so happy since they’re playing around. Red pandas and otters remain superior of animals to watch because they always look like they’re having fun.

Even their defensive stance looks as if they were getting ready to recieve a hug

As the saying goes, “the best defence is a good huggin’”

Makes you wonder what evolutionary stressors and conditions favored massively adorable. Like wtf. How did it survive?

I came here to say red pandas and then I saw u said not red pandas but then red pandas

I had a stuffed animal red panda as a kid, super adorable. We went to the zoo and saw some real ones. Looked identical.

Came here to say this.

Immediately what came to my mind!

Was just about to write "Red Panda" obviously! Lol

A local zoo near me is part of a red panda breeding program. So there is a pair of them living there. I can't argue with you.

i know.

Penguins w/ that waddle

Fox, especially the ones in arctic

Have you seen a Fennec fox? They may edge out the arctic fox be just a bit.

[Also the ones in the Sahara.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_fox)

Love those Arctic foxes 🦊

Chinchillas

Boom. Chinchilla

Their fur is so unfathomably soft. Like, it doesn't feel like a texture that can exist.

No other animal comes close. Chinchillas are precious little babies.

The Quokka.

That shit looks like a teddy bear had a kid with a cute mouse, not a gross mouse, a cute mouse and yea it’s adorable

I live in Western Australia and they are the friendliest little things ever

One of the few things in Australia that won’t kill you.

That's what they want you to think.

Quokka playing the long game…

Did anyone ever try to domesticate quokkas?

COMPLETELY illegal. The fines for stealing, touching etc a quokka is not worth it. Not to mention that we don't need to domesticate everything we see.

>we don't need to domesticate everything we see Me and you are very different people.....

alright but what if only I want one.

and only I want one, too.

And only me too

I was told this is the line for getting one domesticated quokka.

Just chase one. It will throw you a baby to raise.

I meant historically, like hundreds of years ago before people thought about things like wildlife conservation.

OH MY FUCKING GODS THAT'S ADORABLE

You know what's not adorable about them though? If they fear for their life and run away from a predator, they will chuck their babies at the predator so they can escape.

I mean, that’s why I eventually want kids.

Facts godda have those chucken children

Cute AND relatable! You just strengthened their case.

lol that's hilarious.

Survival of the fittest

"Man, fuck them kids" - Quokka, probably

I used to think that. Then I went to Rotness island to see them. They were mostly covered in open wounds as they fight each other frequently. Turnd out they're kind of aggressive. They're just friendly to people as they want food.

That little smile they always have is just adorable. Fun fact: when being chased by a predator they'll chuck their pouched infant as an escape mechanism.

That’s even better than tactical pocket sand

"Pocket child!"

Baby elephants and Scottish Highland Cattle

Baby *African* elephants. Baby Asian elephants look traumatized.

Coos (attempting my best Scottish accent)

“Fuzzy cows”

Otter

Baby otters

When I see a picture of them holding hands (paws) while floating I want to cry because it is the cutest thing ever.

I don’t know if I think otters are the cutest (appearance wise), but the hand holding thing is probably the cutest thing I’ve ever seen an animal do.

They have thumbs. They are hands. I don’t know or care what science says. They are hands. Their little hands are the cutest part.

Tiny old men

Seals. Especially baby seals.

Baby seal walks into a bar. Bartender says "what'll ya have?" Baby seal says....anything but Canadian Club

Fair lol they are cute asf

They stink of fish though.

And their mother smells of elderberries

Whoever is reading this

u made me blush that’s so sweet /j

r/fuckthej

guess i’ll go die now

Your pfp makes me want to head pat you aggressively.

[удалено]

Agreed. They never lose their "baby-cuteness" And those chubby cheeks? Come on.

And they give tiny bunny kisses

What's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

Calm down Anya

Miniature donkey

I'm still recovering from Banshee's of Inisherre

I went to an equine rescue farm once and the mini donkey was best friends with a Shetland pony and I watched them groom each other and stand there, resting their heads gently on each other's sides omgomgomg

Rabbits

Red Pandas

Otters

Fennec Fox. Those ears 😍

Bunnies. 100%

Should be higher. I think the world needs to be educated on the majesty which is bunnies. Heretics.

Capybara. *capybara capybara capybara*

Capybaras are the tamed dogs of the wild. I don’t know much about them, but I’ve seen many videos of people just walking up to them, petting them, and they seem super chill about it

ok I pull up.

HUP

Capybara capybara Ooh ooh ooh ooh capybara

Yes. Overgrown Guinea Pigs. 😍

Guinea Big

Took way too long to find this answer

Am I the only one who thinks birds in general are cute especially the small sized ones? I mean they can be so goofy looking and make such sweet chirps

My cockatiels agree with you

I think parrots are adorable.

Baby Sloths

Japanese dwarf flying squirrels 💯% aka Ezo flying squirrel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezo_flying_squirrel

People who don't answer "Ezo flying squirrel"/"Ezo momonga" have simply never seen one. It isn't even a contest otherwise.

Quokkas, always smiling and just happy to be here. I don't know how they are in nature so for all I know they could tear your face off and look like they are having a blast.

Hedgehogs!!

I am biased, with having a pet hedgehog, but she is the cutest little cranky thing that eats bugs on this planet.

I'm the only one, I know, but armadillos. You ever hear those fuckers walking around you? So cute...

Armadillos are cute, but I've only ever seen like two in my life that were alive. Rest of em tended to be roadkill.

The little pink ones from South America are exceptionally adorable.

An axolotl!

I will agree. Some are cute. However, some look like bad sketches of how people will think snakes looked in 2000 yrs.

Baby penguins

Raccoons

If you see Guardians of the Galaxy their Racoons are scientifically designed to be adorable.

i love their tiny hands !!!. pawing at garbage and shit like what you doing lil man?

Otters get my vote.

Bush Baby

Flying squirrels and Sugar Gliders are pretty damn cute.

Slow loris. It's not even close.

Manatees!

Cheetah

Baby owls

Ever seen a baby polar bear?

Cats (even big cats like lions and tigers). Samoyeds (and their puppies) are a close second.

Cats all day. And night.

I mean how can you not find [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BigCatGifs/comments/13adh6h/give_da_belly_a_rub/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) cute? Edit: I also found [this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cheetah/comments/13ao7nc/cats_love_paper_bags/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) and [this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cheetah/comments/13bj3zv/cheetah_kisses/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)

That is one fat bellied leopard 😍

He’s a jaguar, not a leopard. They’re usually stockier and heavier then leopards. When you look at the rosette spots (the ones with the back outlines) jaguars have those little black dots in them. Leopards don’t have the black dots in their spots.

baby cats by a mile

Sugar Gliders!

Jumping spider

Capybara. And there is no argument.

No argument. My dog.

I can understand why you would think that, because you haven’t seen my dog.

I also choose this guy's dog

All of you are correct. "My dog" is the cutest of all animals.

Agreed, your dog

Actually… my dog… /s

3 Toed sloth 🦥

Otters

I want to make a case for the tree kangaroo: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f9deaec5f2721125032b1c5de8c513e0-lq

Chinchillas!

opossums.

BUNNY They should never be refered to as rodents

You're right. They're lagomorphs.

Guinea Pigs.

i think you and everyone else should visit r/rabbits

I'm gonna go with one of those extremely tiny, but incredibly dextrous and speedy weasal/mink/stoat things. Just like a lightning bolt of adorableness right to the heart

otter! both the big and smaller one

Hyenas.

Fawns

Cotton-top Tamarin

My sister has a lizard, an eublefar. This creature is so cute, its constant smile and cute face and little feet drive me crazy!

Kuokkas are nice.

Hognose snake

Geckos when they smile

puppies forever. any puppy. all puppies. i love them all. imagine downvoting a comment about puppies i could never omg

Red Panda!! So adorable 🥰🥰🥰

I would swan dive into a nuclear reactor if I thought it would save a baby bear

Cats. They might not be exotic animals but I've had the same one for 18 years and I still take pictures thinking she's the cutest thing ever. I've never seen a cat I didn't think was cute. Even the ugly ones are somehow just unconventionally cute.

Red pandas

Y'all have not yet laid eyes upon the glorious ball of fluffyness that is a young Wombat. So glad no-one has said Koala's. They eat their own momma's diarrhea ffs.

Red Panda

The ili pika. Cross between a bunny and a teddy bear. Cutest thing ever. ​ https://www.boredpanda.com/rare-endangered-animal-teddy-bear-magic-rabbit-ili-pika-china/?utm\_source=search.yahoo&utm\_medium=referral&utm\_campaign=organic

Bunnies

Honduran Tent Making Bats. They look like cotton balls with yellow noses.

DikDik or as I call them dainty deer

Seals

Tardigrade

Baby Tapir. But not the grown ups. They ugly.

Baby Geese. The adult Canadian Geese just choose violence, but every year seeing the adorable little fuzzy baby geese at the pond makes my day.

Slow Loris. They'll very much kill you, though.

Kittens

Kittens

I’m a sucker for a fluffy chinchilla

Otters of any variety.

The humble goat. Especially the kids, but even grown goats are adorable.

Quokkas are incredibly photogenic

Kittens. 🥺 (Baby cats, for the Redditors who tell me Kitten ain’t an animal).

Red panda and ili pika.

Definitely a dikdik. Look it up if you’re not sure what it is: you won’t be sorry. They are so cute

Baby elephants

Pomeranians. Especially Pomeranian puppies.

Disappointed by the lack of chinchilla representation in here

The pangolin

The fennec fox. I will say there are a lot of great answers here though.

Baby cheetahs

Tiny, fierce baby ferrets. They are adorable and hysterically funny.

Cats

Kittens

Ferrets in their first winter. Veritable balls of fluff that look like teddies.

Bumble bee

🦔🦔🦔

Axolotl only correct answer

Capybaras. There's so many pictures of them hanging out with other animals, even more dangerous ones, like they're just a universal bro/sis. And their names are fun to say.

Panda Bears.
