This year is on the older side but it's so beautiful not to share. When Clara, the orangutan gave birth to baby Clarita, Clarita was kidnapped by a dominant male. At the Orangutan Jungle School, caretakers reintroduce Clara to her stolen baby but worry she will reject her.

But Clara was impatient and wanted to hold her baby, that much is obvious. Just looking into the eyes of this mother as she finally holds her baby... it's enough to make a grown man cry. 

Hyenas can be super duper cute! And a hyena cub? Always cute. 

Here's a mother who loves her baby and shows it by grooming and snuggling with the sweet cub. That moment when the cub flops down onto her.. endless squeals! Animal relationships with their mothers are just so gosh-darn special, we can hardly stand it. 

If you look closely, it almost looks like the mom is sleeping throughout the whole video. As if our hearts could handle any more cuteness. 

These adorable, and very squeaky, flamingos are on the go and they aren't stopping! 

Last year, five baby flamingos learned how to walk at the Oregon Zoo, and it was the cutest. These 2-week-old "muffin-sized" chicks, were the first of the greater flamingo species to be hatched at the zoo. 

Get ready, because we weren't prepared for this level of cuteness at that adorable little fluffy butt shake!

Cats are already cute enough but a munchkin cat? Oh man, it's just cuteness to the 2nd power.

And a talkative munchkin kitten? Our hearts just exploded and proceeded to melt all over the floor. When you think of toughness, it's tough to enough a munchkin kitten. However, this lil kitkat has something to say and something to say now! We're trying our best to decode the meows and figure out what it's trying to tell us. 

Our number one theory is that it's saying, "I'm tiny and frustrated!" Which is true and would make sense. What do you think this kitten is saying? Wrong answers only. 

We were first introduced to this adorable orange kitten, Pixel, in the 'most dangerous kitten in the world' video. After realizing that title was dead on, being that Pixel is so overwhelmingly cute that he can kill us due to cuteness overload, we then saw this munchkin meet a baby chick and interact with it. 

It's safe to say Pixel has stolen our hearts and has no plans on returning it.

And now, we have the pleasure of viewing the cutest naptime video of all, Pixel and baby chick. Soak it in, folks, it doesn't get any better than this. 

Meet Jarvis, a cat that's quite skilled in giving the stink eye to one Nasrin Hami, his owner. Nasrin Hami and her husband are both from Thailand and have recently gone viral after Nasrin began sharing images of Jarvis making the conscious decision to choose her husband over her. 

Jarvis is very protective and possessive over Nasrin's husband, and the images that prove it are hilarious. It's hard coming to the realization that your cat has chosen another over you, that level of betraying would cut deep. Definitely doesn't make the story any less hilarious, though. 

This is just too cute for words! Turns out, bear cubs play just the same as human kids! They'll climb, rolls around, jump, explore their surroundings, and just enjoy each other's company! 

The video itself is 8 years old, and the camera work is definitely shaky, but the content is simply too good and too cute to forget about. A mean... a playground full of adorable bear cubs? Sign us up! 

If there was ever a video to express how hot it's been lately to the point of melting, this owl vid would be in the top 5. 

And good news to all the Harry Potter fans that have been waiting for their letter to Hogwarts, it's likely the letter hasn't made its way to you yet because your owl is melting in the heat and needs time to cool off. 

That's how we're looking at it, anyways. Enjoy this adorable feathery mush of cuteness! And if you're an owl lover, like anyone wouldn't be, check out some owl memes -- they're a hoot! 

A tiny desert rain frog is the star of this video, and it is angry. It has the ability of making a very unique sound - a squeak like that of a squeaky dog toy. And it kind of looks like a toy as well. This frog became a viral sensation a few years ago, and up till now, it has been viewed over 12 million times on YouTube. The most interesting thing about this video though is that this noise - this tiny, squeaky, incredibly adorable noise, is, as the narrator says, "a sonorous war cry of a very angry frog."

The small frog won over the hearts of everyone, and some YouTube commenters capture that perfectly. "Frog: 'So you have chosen death'. Everyone: 'Awww so cute'," writes one, and another comments: "When you're angry like heck, but nobody takes you seriously, because you are so adorable." And yeah, angry as this frog may be, we could not agree with these comments more. If you want more small but less angry, check out this video of a tiny owl resting its head on a chair.

Cats are the most patient animals in the world. Yes, I said it. And I have proof. This video of a parrot placing its foot on a cat's head. It's very purposeful on the parrot's part, a pursuit the goal of which we absolutely do not understand. After a failed first attempt at reaching the cat's head with its foot, the parrot tries again, scooting a bit closer, and there- success, the foot has landed on the cat's head.

The owner, of course, is laughing, as are we and the millions of people who've watched the video. But the cat is nothing but mildly annoyed, its eye squinting and twitching. Clearly unsatisfied, the parrot moves its foot around and leans closer to the cat's eye multiple times, but no reaction. It takes a surprisingly long time for the cat to - very gently - lift its paw and get the annoyance out of its face. Apparently, parrots are very meme-able animals like that, and cats are insanely patient.

People who "hate" cats try and live with one for one full week. ... We would probably (most definitely) lie and say that I hated cats just so we could have a cat for the week.

Can you guess what will happen when these humans spend a whole week with those adorable furry animals?

Love. Unexpected love. Which is always the best kind of love. 

What a young beauty! Introducing Ahava, a three-month-old female snow leopard cub that has made her public debut at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois.

Snow leopards are one of the rarest wildcats to come across, sadly, only as few as 4,000 snow leopards still remain in the wild. They are often solidarity creatures, who can be referred to as the "ghost of the mountain," due to their scarce and elusive sightings. 

Find out how you can help protect these elusive beauties and ensure their survival for generations to come at WWF. 

There's a reason we all look at the cubs of big cats and want to pet them as if they're kittens, and this video showcases exactly why that is. Giving us its very best effort to roar like the king of the jungle, this tiny fluffy lion ends up squeaking instead, just like a kitten. 

The cub probably doesn't understand why everyone around it is awwing instead of bowing, but we do, and so do the people filming it. "They all make that sound?" one of the people asks, and another clarifies that "it'll turn into a growl later," but it's almost hard to believe that with how adorable the roar is. No wonder we all kiiinda want to have a pet lion. Like, be honest about it, it would be incredible to cuddle with one. It's almost shocking, honestly, that our cute house cats are relatives of cubs like this, but then we remember how ferociously our cat attacks whenever there's a hairband on the floor, and things make a bit more sense in the world.
