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: ![Blue jay](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/b/d/bd119d8cf570f344408a59829dad47918bda40bd.jpeg) One of those few times blue jays don’t look imperative or stern at all, maybe just a bit worried :) ![Gray squirrel](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/1/7/17b0fe009b143d08321eecb6bf2cec6c5ce793a6.jpeg) Pacing nervously on the fence as thunder rumbled around it. ![Red junglefowl](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/e/b/ebfbd8ba500d306423bad3974a01cf31e677bf55.jpeg) 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! ![Dimorphic Jumping spider](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/f/e/fe0a2c27c31f18faa785542c1bc1be831d8be74f.jpeg) Jumping spiders are some of the most adorable animals, in my opinion! ![Three-toed box turtle](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/3/f/3f96632c369efbf8eed4c72a23bc72b9a736645e.jpeg) Those big 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. ![Screenshot_20250727-210746](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/c/1/c19725a0aef4b013183eeac9445946ea63675766.jpeg) Additionally, closeups of cellar spiders reveal little fuzzy faces that are just so adorable. ![Screenshot_20250728-135459](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/4/9/49828a5e73a9d1af6af0b9aca7eb9e172f9a967a.png) ![Screenshot_20250728-135516](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/8/e/8e72d85dc069bf970b274b2c6af9909941560ffe.png) ---
