Or at least  on the Internet.
Now, I’m not looking for a species. Saying, “I think dogs/cats/vultures” are the cutest animals isn’t enough. We’re looking for a specific animal.
So far, I nominate this happy puffer fish , which I first came across in another cute fish thread.
Let’s see if we can outcute him.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              This mouse-type thing  has got to be in with a shout.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              A Japanese dwarf flying squirrel, called the momonga .  An anime critter come to life!
             
            
              
            
           
          
          
            
            
              I’ve never even heard of a Dik Dik, but now that I’ve seen one, I want it! I want it to hang out next to me while I surf the Internet like in that picture. And then I can bottle feed it.

              I love the momonga and the dik-dik.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
I came here to post the youtube video embedded in that page.  The Pygmy Jerboa is just like a mouse head on legs.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
Win!

Go to his website and poke around the pictures and calendars and stuff.  He’s an amazing dog with a very interesting story.

Very interesting… I looked all through it and read about him, and I’m still not sure what he is…  but he is so cute!
             
            
              
            
           
          
          
            
            
              I vote for that baby marmoset.
Or maybe these baby otters .
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
I love them!
Thanks to all. The cute, it’s giving me the diabetus!

This gets my vote. Someone posted a pic of one here and I squee everytime I see it.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
This  didn’t get your vote?

              Yawning kitten .
It’s my favorite, anyway.
