Gooood morning, friends, and welcome back to the cutest thing that you have seen all week. Yes, you read that right. We guarantee this from the get-go. If you are in a bad mood, if you are having a rough time, if you are looking for something that will undoubtedly cheer you up, you are truly in the right place. Because we don't know of a single person in our lives that could look at a bunch of adorable pictures of baby animals and not feel at least a little bit better.

This is why we put together this collection of itty bitty baby animals for you guys every single week. Well, for two reasons. First, because scrolling online and looking for adorable animal pictures is one of the things that makes us the happiest in the world, and also because we know that this is truly something that can turn someone's Monday morning around from the morning that is dreaded the most throughout the week to a morning that starts with a smile.

And this is exactly why, some day, we will end up on the news or in the hospital for some absolutely ridiculous reason. Because if we saw this out there in the wild, we would try to pet it. No thought for the mother being around, no thought of danger at all. The only thoughts would be: “Oooh cute," and then, “Ouch.”
