Some days you wake up and you just need to see a picture of a tiny baby mouse to make you feel like all is right in the world. On those days when you need that extra dose of cuteness, you know we got that good-good over here! This adorable array of animal pics feature all our furry (and slippery!) friends from around the animal kingdom because we believe all animals deserve their chance to be in the spotlight of cuteness.

We have everything you need here to cure your Wednesday work woes: a baby hippo, a fox in a hat, a raccoon in a cookie jar, and a couple of baby animals that you just want to squeeze (but you definitely shouldn't because they're very fragile). We could look at these pics all day, but unfortunately we have more work to do. Don't worry, though, we'll be back in an hour when we need another dose of cuteness. See you again soon!

    Furniture - I'm currently in the early stages of labour and I think they all know it...

    Okay, hear us out, the animals in this picture may not be posed in some particularly cute way, but the fact that they're all gathered around a mother in labor is definitely super cute! Maybe they can sense her hormones or something they can smell, but these fur babies looking after their momma is definitely worthy of being on this list, in our opinion.

    Water - "You got this, my lovely little potato!" Mother Hippo teaches her baby to swim.

    You don't often associate hippos with being terribly cute. But this adorable gray ball of hippo fluff learning to swim is screaming at the serotonin in our brains to flow like the river! He definitely is a little potato, and we hope his swimming lesson went, well, swimmingly!
