baby animals

We are all familiar with the cat purrito by now, but have you ever seen a baby bat wrapped up like a burrito? It's almost too cute to handle! When these baby flying foxes arrived at the Australian Bat Clinic due to extreme heat events that separated them from their mothers, they were well taken care of -- as you can see from the video. 

The video may be on the older side but something so cute needs to live on and on. If you watch this entire video and have no emotions about it, you may want to go get that checked out because the cuteness meter is through the roof!

This video is adorable and relaxing all at once. Last year, Point Defiance Zoo welcomed its first beaver kit and it's so heckin' cute, they made this video just to show off its cuteness!

Not that we blame them at all, we can look at this little kit all day. Even though this video is a year old, the beaver kit was born perfectly healthy and living well with parents Walnut and Nutmeg. Parents Walnut and Nutmeg seem to be very chill, according to this video, letting the humans babysit as they get some more naps in. 

This is simply too cute! Whilst in a mint garden, this little ducking has promptly fallen asleep after a flower hat is placed on its head. 

The duckling was born on the Mother The Moutain Farm, where two young women work on their organic farm on Bundjalung Country / Byron Bay, Australia. In the video description, Mother The Mountain Farm left this beautiful and inspiring message, "We are the third generation of our family to care for this land and are always so grateful as we pick fruit from the trees planted by our grandparents and tended by our parents. Grateful to still be nurtured by those who are no longer here. We hope that when we are gone, those who come after will still be fed by the meaning of our actions, the trees we plant, the land we care for. "

You can follow Mother The Mountain Farm on Instagram for more about their care for animals during their journey. And of course, more adorable ducklings! 

This super tiny (and super adorable monkey) is really impatient about getting her milk! 

Meet Lyly! Lyly is a pigtail baby monkey who was found very weak and skinny, living with a farmer. When her rescuer first saw her, he requested to adopt her. Lyly's owner writes in the description bio, "My heart was shaking I really want to protect and take good care of her," and continues to talk about wanted to provide Lyly with a loving, warm family and life. 

Now, Lyly is healthy and is showered with love! Follow Lyly's journey on Youtube! 

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!

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. 

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!
