OT: Cute animal thread! by

Because why not have something silly and lighthearted for a change?
To try and prevent this chat from getting spammed with posts, you pick one animal that you think is the absolute cutest of them all, and put a picture (or two, or three, or...) in your post.
I've always been rather fond of harp seal pups.
D'awww. -

His name was Einspine and he was rather unfriendly, but when he was in a good mood he liked to snuggle.
I love their little snoots. So cute and snuffly. :D -

I've never heard of those before. What are they? Some kind of large-ish rodent, looks like?

Oh, Willem de Vlamingh thought that, too. by

He found a bunch of them on an island and called it 'Rottnest Island.'
Rat nest.
Because, you know. Thought they were rats. On a giant nest.
He later described it as 'a paradise on earth,' so he must have really liked rats, too.
But, nah, they're part of macropodidae, which is the family that includes kangaroos and such.
It's a good thing, then, that Willem never figured that out.
Imagine his disappointment! -

Because I bet you plebeians haven't heard of our planet's insultingly tiny antelope.
And that makes them stern-face at you. (That one's a baby, for the record, but they don't grow a whole lot by adulthood.)

Sneaky Snakes Spooking Sessile Sailors by

'I exiiiiiiiist!'
'i dont know if i want to exist'
'I exist, but only within the confines of this tube. Pity me.'
'These snakes all exist and that spooks me, a sailor, a little. Also, I am glued to a wooden post behind me and am completely sessile.'
The last one isn't very cute (it might be a bit rude to call it an animal, too), but I think the snakes help makes this post add up to an ultimate sense of general cuteness.
Which was the plan, of course! -

Is that a Pokémon? I know there are some bizarre Pokémon these days, but... O.o

It was introduced in Generation V to complete the pollution trio of Koffing (who is
helpingan airborne sea mine with a silly grin) and Grimer (a sentient blob of pestilential ooze who, in Hawaii, has taken to eating lots of mustard). Both of those are from Gen I. =] -

Sorry if I came across as judgemental there. You're right, Pokémon have always been weird, and I didn't mean to put down your taste in fictional critters or harsh anyone's cute buzz.

Trubbish only has one form (the one in the first picture). Whoever drew the others has quite the imagination, though.
