Personally, we think that baby elephants are one of the most underrated animals ever. When we think about elephants, people tend to have a kind appreciation for them, a respect for these amazing large wild animals. And it's a very well-deserved appreciation. But baby elephants, they tell a whole different story. They are playful, playing with butterflies, unable to use their trunks properly at first, using them like babies use their thumbs. They are fun and silly, playing with other animals in the wild, running to their mommas for help when they get into trouble. They are adorable. And we could look at pictures and videos of baby elephants literally all day long.

Of course, baby cats are an animal that gets plenty of appreciation on the internet. And we don't really have to explain why. It is also very well-deserved. The fact that we are able to keep these baby kitties in our homes only adds to our love for them, and if it were in any shape or form possible, we would have taken a baby elephant into our homes as well. Because really, they are just as cute and deserve just as much love.
