Turtles and tortoises are some of the coolest animals on the planet in our opinion. They live for so long, they're so resilient despite being so slow, they're chill and - don't forget - they're so adorable. They look like they're little prehistoric dinosaurs left on the earth from some time in the past, strolling around, watching the world evolve all around them.

All turtles have that feeling to them, but baby snapping turtles really encapsulate that dinosaur image. On top of that, they might be some of the most adorable turtles we've ever seen. And considering how cute we think all turtles are, that's a real achievement lol.

Honestly, when we first saw a picture of a baby snapping turtle, we were shocked. Considering how big and dangerous they become when they're older, seeing them in this itty bitty baby version totally took us aback. I mean, look how cute this miniature dinosaur is.

Anyone who tells you that they don't like turtles or that they are afraid of snapping turtles - show them this. There is no way that they will be able to resist the cuteness of these tiny creatures. They are so unbelievably small, fitting right on top of your fingers, we wish we could hold one.
