Top10 World’s Cutest Animals

It is quite an amazing thing that we do not have to live on this big planet alone, and instead we can share it with such a vast and extraordinary variety of animals. And while some of them might actually look quite frightening, most of them are definitely adorable and cute, so we decided to do them justice by creating a top 10 of the cutest animals in the world.

10. Chinchilla

The small, cute and fluffy chinchilla hails from South America, and due to its extremely soft, plushy fur, it has been hunted to the brink of extinction during the 19th century. If you would like to spot one in the wild, you’re out of luck, since these particular rodents usually live at dizzyingly high altitudes. However, you can look for one at your local pet shop and keep it as a companion.

 9. Roe Deer

All it takes is a relaxing walk in the forest in order to spot a lovely roe deer. You will recognize this particular species by its beautiful chestnut-brown color, but also because it is no larger than an average goat. The roe deer’s overwhelming cuteness is what allowed it to earn a special place in our 

8. Bottlenose Dolphin

Dolphins are unmistakably some of the cutest and most popular marine animals, especially since they can be very friendly towards humans, at least in captivity. In their natural habitat, these agile mammals gang up and hunt in a very organized manner, but even then they still look quite harmless and cute.

7. Alpaca

Alpaca hair is mostly used to make sweaters, but it also gives these calm, domesticated animals a unique, huggable appearance. Alpacas are related to lamas, and they are divided into 2 distinct categories named Suri and Huacaya

6. Bee Hummingbird

As the smallest bird in the world, the bee hummingbird is definitely the cutest. Hailing from Cuba, this tiny bird was named as such because it acts somewhat like a bee does, since its main activity consists of pollinating plants and helping them reproduce. The bee hummingbird is able to beat its wings at an estimated rate of 80 beats per second, which is so fast that the human eye perceives it as a blur.

5. Sea Otter

Sea otters are absolutely adorable, but also quite intelligent. This incredible marine mammal is native to the northern and eastern coasts of the Northern Pacific Ocean, and they actually represent the heaviest members of the weasel family, weighing in between 31 and 99 lb. Sea otters are social creatures, swimming in groups of up to 100 members while clasping paws so that they won’t drift away from each other.

4. Harp Seal

The harp seal is a type of earless seal that can be found in the northernmost parts of the Atlantic Ocean and in some parts of the Arctic Ocean. Its innocent black eyes contrast nicely with its silvery-gray body, but it also features a series of harp-shaped markings on its back, hence the name. Despite being one of the most lovable and innocent creatures in the world, the harp seal is still being hunted extensively for its soft, plushy pelts.

3. Giant Panda

The giant panda is an endangered species, with only about 1,600 specimens left in the wild. The reason behind this is mainly caused by deforestation, since pandas are highly dependent on bamboo trees in order to survive

2. Philippine tarsier

Tarsiers love their freedom, perhaps too much for their own good, since they have been known to commit suicide when they are in captivity. Sad business aside, this miniature primate is well known for its large eyes and small body, which make it one of the most endearing animals in the world. However, as we mentioned before, you should only hope to see a tarsier in the wild, especially if you want to see a happy one

1. Fennec Fox

This nocturnal little fox can be found in the Sahara Desert of North Africa. Its most loveable features are its large ears and pointy face. Its harmless, cute appearance makes it a perfect candidate for domestication, especially since it is actually smaller than an average cat. And while this may sound good for humans, this is in fact a very bad thing for the fennec foxes, since many trappers are actively capturing them in order to sell them as pets or to put them on display.
