Anteaters are adorable, and we will stand on this hill for as long as we have to to convince everyone of that. They have long noses, they eat ants, which might be the only animal that we would be okay with never petting, and look at their baby form. That - we do want to pet. Very much.

As if chinchillas are not cute enough. Look at this. How amazing is this? They look the same as babies as they do as adults - they are only smaller. Exactly the same. Which might explain why we cannot handle their cuteness in their adult form either. Just kidding, we want to pet all adult animals and baby animals equally anyway.
