They may be itty bitty, but the smiles that they put on our faces are huge.

That is the power of tiny baby animals. It doesn't matter which animal it is - if it's a pawfect puppy, a silly seal pup or a rambunctious raccoon baby, you take one look at them, and you find yourself smiling from ear to ear. It doesn't matter whether it is a domestic animal that you can go and pet or a wild one that you could ever dream of doing that to. All that matters is that it is tiny and precious and that you, as a human, find its cutness irresistable.

There is simply something about adorable baby animals that makes us smile every single time. We cannot resist it. And we don't want to. That is why we make this collection, putting together the cutest baby animals that we can find every single week. Because it's simple, and it's fun, and it makes both us and you guys smile. It's worth the extra couple of minutes that you will be stuck in bed scrolling, because by the time that you will be done, by the time that you will have to get out of bed, you will not be able to stop smiling.

We look at creatures like this, and we wonder… what have humans done wrong in the past to be punished like this? How- how can this be a dangerous creature? How could the universe create something so fluffy and adorable, and also create our unending desire to pet fluffy and adorable things, and then make petting this forbidden? It really is such a cruel fate. And tempting to no end. We cannot say for a fact that if we'll encounted this itty bitty thingy in the future, we would not attempt to pet it. And you know what? If we manage to do it, any and all consequences will be so worth it.

At least we are lucky enough to deserve these little beings. So maybe we did enough wrong to be forbidden from petting big cats and other dangerous animals, but we must have done something right to be allowed to befriend these pawfect guys and gals. Dogs might be one of the best things to happen to humans, we don't think that anyone could argue with that. We should simply be thankful and make sure to treat dogs in the best ways that we can. Adopt them, love them, spoil them, show the universe that we deserve them, and maybe, a couple hundred years down the line, the universe will give us permission to pet some other things as well.
