Cutest Animal Photos

Some animals can be a bit creepy. Or nasty. Or slimy. Or cruel. But there are so many adorable things about animals to enjoy, too! What are some of your cutest pics?

Here are some of mine:

One of those few times blue jays don’t look imperative or stern at all, maybe just a bit worried :)

Pacing nervously on the fence as thunder rumbled around it.

These chickens strutted about Key West, weaving in and out of pedestrians, entering shops, and crossing at the crosswalks. As wild as pigeons or doves!

Jumping spiders are some of the most adorable animals, in my opinion!

Those big eyes :eyes:

I’m not going after unexpectedly cute observations here. Almost everyone knows squirrels and birds and the like are cute. This is more general, just for anything cute.

I find that burrowing wolf spiders are heart meltingly cute, I definitely second your jumping spider claim, just look at my profile pic.

Additionally, closeups of cellar spiders reveal little fuzzy faces that are just so adorable.

I photographed this juvenile Red Fox on my neighbor’s picnic table just a couple days ago. “Hey! When is dinner served???”

My family tells me this fox is very very cute. I say very very blurry, but OK.
