Cutest Baby Animals
You Can't Just Wait To
Pet

If you're a pet person, you'll have a unique understanding of the joy petting little cute animals can bring.
Whether it's a cat or a dog, we all love our fuzzy little animals.
However, no matter how cute your pet is right now, you'll agree that they used to be way cuter. Baby
animals are the cutest subgroups of animals, and their angelic little eyes and soft fur make us swoon.
But did you know that baby cats and dogs aren't the only super cute animals?
Today, we'll be looking at the cutest baby animals alive.
#10 Gundi
People don't usually think rodents are cute, and who can blame them? Most rodents look dirty with all
their scurrying. But not the Gundi.
The Gundi is a small rodent that is found in the rocky desert regions of North Africa. They are also called
comb rodents because the middle toes of their hind feet carry comb-like bristles.
Female gundis often produce two baby Gundi's after a two month period of gestation, and the babies
are usually weaned within four weeks. This is because the dry environment means that female Gundi's
don't produce a lot of milk.
These little fluffy creatures are just as small as regular rodents. They usually grow up to 18cm long and
have large eyes, soft fur and short legs. The perfect recipe for cuteness, wouldn't you say?
#9 The Tanuki
The Tanuki is a Japanese species known in the west as a raccoon dog. Most of our knowledge about this
unbelievably cute animal stems from its portrayal in a classic Mario Game as a trickster god with huge
testicles.

However, don't let the Mario game fool you. The Tanuki are amazingly cute animals that can melt your
heart. Adult Tanukis are cute of course, but baby Tanukis are on an entirely different level.
Even though people call Tanukis racoon dogs, you should know that they aren't related to racoons. They
are even more closely related to foxes and wolves than racoons.
Unlike racoons, Tanukis are very particular about family, and this makes them even cuter. They usually
live in monogamous peers and it's very weird to find a Tankui living alone.
Sadly, wildlife experts don't recommend keeping Tanukis as pets. Even though they've mostly moved
into urban areas, and are now eating catfood, they've also picked up a sad outbreak of mange.
#8 Chevrotain
The Chevrotain is what you get when you mix the cuteness of a deer with the size of a mouse. It's little
wonder that the animal is called the mouse deer. It's basically a small, delicately built hoofed mammal.
Baby Chevrotains are some of the most adorable creatures in this world, and you would probably give
an arm and leg just to pet them.
These animals are found in Africa, India and the warmer parts of Southeast Asia. They are shy like
regular deers and are mostly active only in the evenings and at night. Chevrotains are usually just about
twelve inches tall and they have a reddish-brown fur with stripes of white. The male Chevrotain doesn't
have antlers. Instead, it has tiny fang-like tusks that are just so adorable.
Despite the fact that the Chevrotain looks a lot like the Deer or Mice, you should know that it's not
closely related to either animal. So what animal are they closely related to? None, for the most part. The
Chevrotain is its own species, and it's not a kind of deer or mouse. It's just the Chevrotain, and it's very
beautiful.
#7 Harris Antelope Squirrel
This Harris Antelope Squirrel is found in the hot desert climates of Northwestern Mexico and the
Southwestern United States, and they are probably the most adorable squirrel species you'll ever see.
The squirrel has a dull but exotic grey color, and a bushy tail that it often uses to cover itself in the sun.
Baby Harris Antelopes are even cuter than their parents and are very pet-able. Sadly, it's difficult to lay
your hands on one, as they are often dashing about in the mid-day. They usually spend most of their
time in the sun collecting food and will do so until their bodies reach their maximum temperature. After
this, they'll rest in shade until their temperature has lowered and they can dash about again.
Like regular squirrels, these wonderful bundles of activity feed on a variety of desert plants like seeds of
cactus, prickly pear cactus and cholla cactus. They will also eat insects, mesquite beans, and even a
mouse if they fancy it.
