We all do it. That little shriek of "AWWW da baby!", whenever we see a baby animal. So teeny tiny and perfect. Some scientists have even said that baby animals pull on our heartstrings because we are pretty much programmed to protect human babies... (Not to mention that baby animals are just so cute!)

Are you ready for the most relaxing thing you'll see today?
Nature PBS released this enchanting footage of baby hares in the wilderness and we just can't get enough.
The bond between a mother and a baby is something beyond words.
Much like the human world, the mothers in the animal kingdom are the ones guiding and training their offsprings on how to understand and adjust to this world.
These precious photos just say it all.
Willy Thuan is a French photographer who started to travel the world early and never stopped until he settled in Thailand in 1994. Then for the past 25 years, his passion for photography has taken him to every corner of Thailand. He has been a Phuket blogger since January 2011.
One day, during a casual lunch with friends on the Bangtao beach in Phuket, he saw this baby elephant walking towards the water and with the instincts of an experienced photographer, he started taking photos.
On his blog, he recalls that day: "I saw a small elephant walking alone toward the water and I, of course, thought he would stop there and wait. But no, once approaching the sea, he just started to run faster and rammed into the waves like the kid he was! He came in and out several times; his mahout was casually waiting nearby, apparently used to the elephant's behaviour. The elephant suddenly did something hilarious, totally unexpected: he put his head into the sand and pushed himself forward. I happened to carry a 28-300 mm lens on that day, giving me this perspective, and the photo of a lifetime"
Soooo cute!
It's World Tapir day today and you are probably wondering what is this odd little creature that looks a bit like a pig, with its general build and toes with hooves, but also a bit like a baby elephant with its long snout.
Well, this wonderful animal is currently on the watch-list as it has been over-hunted for its meat and hides.
World Tapir Day raises awareness about these endangered animals and helps to protect them for future generations.
Especially for this day, we have compiled an adorable list of baby tapirs that are just too cute to handle.
After a 13-month gestation period, a single tapir baby called a calf, is born while the mother stands. The calf is born with his eyes open, and it can stand one or two hours after birth. All tapir calves look like brown- and beige-striped watermelons on legs. This color pattern is great camouflage for the youngsters in the dappled sunlight of the forest, especially when the calf lies down on the ground while Mom forages. The calf begins to lose these markings after a few months, and when the youngster is about six months old, it looks like a miniature adult.
Imgur user, HeddeyThatsHedleyLamarr, has shared a collection of footage from their "baby fox cam" and it's just what we needed in this life... and in this world.

If you wish to see even more 'baby fox cam' vids, the Imgur user has set up a YouTube Channel!
While hiking in the magical landscape that is Norway, wildlife photographer Mads Nordsveen happened to stumble upon a breathtaking sight of a rare white baby reindeer, standing in pure white snow.
It's amazing that Nordsveen even spotted the little beauty in the first place, due to it's natural surrounding as the perfect camouflage.
That we're thankful he did spot the calf or else we wouldn't have these lovely images.

Even though our parents are probably happy and relieved to see us grow up and let go of some baby habits, but in all honesty, our furry counterparts could just stay babies forever – that's how cute animals are! And if some might argue that human babies are more adorable, we give you this list of the cutest animals ever to reconsider. Get ready for some serious "AWWW" factor.
Did you know that the natural temperature of a Sphynx's body is actually 4 degrees warmer than that of their furry counterparts? This is why Sphynx cats can be wonderful cuddle bugs — to keep this temperature, they just love to snuggle up to their owners and hug them as often as possible. But this is not the only positive trait of these amazing kittens. Just take a look at the photos below and you'll see everything for yourself.
