Two adorable bear cubs have been abandoned by their polar bear momma and are now being rescued by four new adoptive moms, and it's one of the cutest things we've seen. The cubs get pampered so much - getting manicures, massages, warm milk, and undivided attention. They are now seven weeks old and growing super fast, and we can't wait to see these cuties get even bigger. 

As dailymail reports, the cub's "seven-year-old mother, Seryozhka, from the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arctic, built a den for her new cubs at a safari park in Gelendzhik, but then rejected the crying pair." The keepers at the zoo attempted to coax the mother into giving milk to the babies and failed, but she "gave blood which was used to give serum to the babies, vital as an immunity boost."

Luckily, the mother didn't hurt the cubs, and keepers at the zoo were able to step in and take care of the little babies. Their new foster moms are a pair of 39-year-old twins, Anastasia and Olesya Sakhatskaya, 32-year-old Maria Moroz, and 31-year-old Yelena Milovidova.

"They don't seem to distinguish between the four of us," said Elena. "They know the scent of our skin and clothes, and sensing any of us getting close to them means just one thing: mother is here, and food is coming." Yelena Milovidova, deputy director of the Gelendzhik Safari Park, adds: "There were no previous cases of nurturing polar bear cubs rejected by their mother in a Russian zoo. This is the first experience for us."

The cubs who have only recently opened their eyes now weight over 4 kilograms and should start doubling in weight every few weeks. When they're three months old, they'll start going on walks outside. 

"In the world there were only five or so cases of polar bear cubs raised since birth in captivity," continues Milovidova. "I do hope that we will succeed." And we really, really hope so too. We wish these cuties all the luck in the world and want to thank their caretakers who are really giving them all the love.

Check out pictures and a video of the cubs below, and for more wholesome bear stories, read about a circus bear living in terrible conditions being rescued and moved to a sanctuary.

The bumblebee bat, also known as Kitti's hog-nosed bat or Craseonycteris thonglongyai, is the smallest bat in the world and one of the smallest mammals in the world. It just so happens to be one of the cutest mammals in the world as well. It weighs about 0.07 oz, it grows up to about 1.3 inches, and it is endangered, so it's time to give it some love. 

These tiny creatures have a pig-like snout, and they're so small they can easily fit on the tip of your finger. Us, animal people, have a tendency to love any tiny animal, and this one is no exception. So, get to know these guys if you haven't heard of them yet, aww at their cuteness, and hope that there will be more of them as time goes on.

Bringing you some baby beavers for a bright and blissful day! They're cuter than you think, they're ever so slightly camera shy, and they're so tiny and snuggly and unique, and wow, we just wanna give them some love and cuddles. 

It may not be an animal that you instantly think of as cute, but these pictures are about to change your mind so fast you're not even ready. Looking at this will add another adorable baby animal to your list of faves, and from today and till the end of time, suddenly you'll find yourself giving a dam about beavers. 

It's time for your daily cuteness overload. This time, we've got one of the cutest things of all, but it's something only real cat lovers cat appreciate - teeny-tiny cat teefs. 

That's right, if you're not a cat person, you have stepped into cat person territory right here. Because the same thing that people who are scared of cats are afraid of is exactly the thing that we, cat lovers, love. Love is sharp. Love is getting love bites from your cat and saying thank you.

Thank you, r/teefies, for always having a fresh, purrfect supply of cat teefies to offer and allowing us to feed our cat teefies obsessions without shame. 

Is there anything cuter than a puppy? Yes, MANY PUPPIES. Many puppies all together, lumped up in one big pawfect puppy pile. Oh, what we wouldn't do to get in there and cuddle with them. We can't imagine a more positive, wholesome way to spend an evening then experiencing the joy of a puppy pile. 

Because we love dogs, and we love puppies, and we're always happy to see tiny, newborn puppies wiggling around and giving each other love and warmth. So, enjoy the pawsitivity, dog lovers, and may you have a puppytastic day!

This one is for the fearless cat lovers in the crowd who want to pet every single cat no matter how dangerous they are. Yes, every single one of them. Of course, we're not tooootally crazy cat ladies and gentlemen, we know that some cats shouldn't be petted unless we want our fingers bitten off, but that's why there are mini versions of big cats, duh. 

Even murdermuffins like bobcats have a mini version that is totally pet-able: baby murdermuffins - bobkittens. You're about to bask in the glory of their fierce cuteness, and your urge to pet one will only grow. 

We all know that cats are the fiercest, coolest, most badass little beings. Even our little spoiled fluffballs have a little tiger in them. But the The Black Footed cat, well that is a true fierce kitty. Thank you, tumblr, for introducing us to this special wild kitty. 

Tiny even when it's fully grown, this murderbaby has a higher kill success rate than actual lions. And you know what, looking at it... we are truly terrified. We totally don't want to lift it up and cuddle it and give it snacks and kiss its fierce little head. Totally not. Then again, we love cats so much that we would probably say the same thing about actual lions, so... gimme that little murdermuffin, i wanna give it a smooch. 

It's time to welcome two new puppies into the world!!! 

But these two puppies are not regular puppies. The two babies were both born with cleft lips, making them extra special in many different ways. The cuties will have a harder time than most going through their little doggo journeys. Especially now that they are so, so tiny, they will need some extra special love and care. 

Luckily, they found themselves in the hands of an amazing human. Working in a sanctuary and having taken care of at least one dog that we know of with a cleft lip, imgur user thevaiobandit101 knows what to do. The tiny pups will be tube fed for the next few weeks and will be a lot of work, but they are in good hands. 

Good luck to the puppies and to thevaiobandit101, we wish you an easy and amazing life!

It's time for yet another gathering of the itty bitty kitty committee! This time, they are discussing more ways of taking over the world with their cuteness. The conclusion is of course the same, they don't need to do anything but exist to rule the world, which is prefect.

Thanks to the subreddit r/IllegallySmolCats, we are able to purrvide you with this adorable collection of kittens to warm your heart and melt your soul. It's cuteness to a level that you might not be able to handle, we'll warn you right away. There's simply too much cuteness and positivity in a kitty collection like this one. But, for the strong cat lovers in the crowd, enjoy this kitten collection and may your heart survive this adorableness attack.

All it takes is a little kindness to change an animal's life. This heartwarming tumblr thread proves just that. This tiny kitten, later named Nux, was found at the bottom of violetohara's stairs, and though it was a bit hard to catch the kitten at first, violetohara immediately knew that if they catch the little thing, they'll adopt her right away.

And that's exactly what happened. The kitten was sick, had burrs and sticks in her fur and was clearly unwell, but all it took is a visit to the vet and one day in her new forever home for her to start purring and become of of the cutest kittens in the whole world. Nux is still doing great, of course, because with a forever home as loving as this, who wouldn't?

Meet Pepperoni, the most adorable tiny feisty kitten who loves biting people, taking naps in silly places, car rides, and chilling at work with her human.

Peppi's owner found her under a dumpster a couple months ago when she was only 4-5 weeks old and weighed less than a pound and absolutely fell in love with her and adopted her. And seeing this little girl, we totally understand that love. In a viral thread on imgur, anzinipanini talks about her journey with this kitten, and we only continue to fall in love with her. 

And though anzinipanini begins her thread with "[t]his post isn't super important," we and other users totally disagree. This post and Pepperoni are extremely, extremely important. 

Welcome to Monday, friends! A new week is coming, but there's still a whoooole day ahead of you to relax and get energized for the following week. And don't worry, we've got just the thing that'll really get your energy rising and put set your mood right for this week - a tiny collection of one of the most adorable teeny-weeny animals out there - widdle baby meerkats.

We know what you're thinking. "Meerkats are already tiny and adorable, can they really get any cuter?" Yes, yes, they can. Because they're a baby animals, and baby animals are always cuter than regular sized animals, that's just common knowledge.
