Personally, I think that the cutest animal (as a baby) is the northern saw-whet owl. In general, I think owl chicks can look a bit hidious (no offense owls!) but northern saw-whet owl chicks are the most adorable little things. Just look at some of photos taken by iNaters.

i think its hognose snakes, turtles, deer, and turkeys, which i’ve been calling turklets because poult isnt a very cute name for them lol

Obviously this is very subjective, but have you seen black rail chicks??? :heart_eyes:

They are the cutest!!! :face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears:

Baby quail! Adults themselves are absolutely adorable, and their babies are tiny and fluffy and perfect. Here’s a female Northern Bobwhite with her chicks ( https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/249425544 ) [image] California Quails ( https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/244002986 )( https://w…

Those are cool birds! The chicks are really adorable!

Very similar to guinea fowl chicks! Which are near the top of my personal list : ) It’s a shame that their parents do not think so too! If the group is accidentally flushed the parents will escape and it’s every chick for itself! Luckily the parents have ~14 eggs per batch.

Definitely birds: ducks, plovers

Yes, and they are what you get if you search for crow chicks on the Internet. :roll_eyes:

I’ll third the plovers; specifically, Killdeers, which are fuzz balls with the same markings as their parents. My bigger fave, though (in the theme of “What invasive species do you secretly LOVE”) is kittens. As in domestic cat kittens. Also lively fuzz balls.

Um no. It’s hard enough to see black rail adults.

What are the most adorable baby animals?
