big ears

Are you ready for one of our favorite animals in one of its cutest forms ever? Well, brace yourself because these big-eared fennec foxes are mighty predators who are super duper dangerous too cute to be as fierce as they are, and they will totally steal your heart in the most criminal way possible. 

Of course, their big ears have a very important function of helping them dissipate heat. All we can think about though is them is how there's just more ear space to scratch behind and bring big ol' smiles onto these foxes' faces, because my goodness, these ears are one of the cutest things we've ever seen.

These big-eared bunnies and rabbits are truly the best listeners ever. They are always ALL ears. And really, they don't talk back to you (because they're rabbits and bunnies), so they kinda always have to listen. Regardless, they and their ears are absolutely adorable - fluffy and big and floppy. 

We love animals with big ears, there's something so special about them. Cats with big ears, puppers with big ears, bunnies and rabbits - we love them all. They're all just so earresistibly cute, and we want nothing more than to rub behind their big, huge ears and make them the happipest big-eared animals on the planet.

Recently, we've been on a tiny animal kick, featuring the adorable dik-dik's, or how about those insanely cute Japanese dwarf flying squirrels? 

Well, we're continuing this cuteness run with another uncommonly known animal that deserves your attention: the long-eared jerboa! The long-eared jerboa is a rare nocturnal rodent that is very mouse-like. However, unlike a mouse, it has long hind legs (much like a kangaroo) and comically (and adorably) long ears. Oh, and it also has a miniature snout that resembles a pig. 

Be honest, have you ever seen a cuter mouse/rabbit/kangaroo/piglet mix? We didn't think so!
