1. Possibly the Hyena, but I can tell you why they are almost always so adorable....
|
...because if they weren't the parents would kill them, eat them, or give them away for being so noisy and stinky and troublesome.
But when they are SO CUTE you can live with that!

Turtles and tortoises, for instance:
Baby lizards can be pretty darn cute, too. |

Last edited Thu Apr 12, 2012, 09:02 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) I really do not get "squee" feelings from people grubs. Or birds at any stage of development. Or most mammals. Some of them have a sleek kinda beauty, or eye catching characteristics. But squee? None for me, thanks.
Ok, maybe I exaggerate a bit for hyperbole sake. I may or may not admit at times to finding some potentially "cute" factors existing in certain animals of the youthful persuasion, such as otters, ferrets or squirrels. And an occasional dog or cat. And maybe one in 30 people grubs(the rest are hideous). But you cannot prove it. Squee, like "cold", is purely a state of mind, with no scientific reality. I refuse to be cold, and I feel no need for squee. Oh... Also...

39. I agree! And that's cuz I was the ugliest baby on the block!
|
Born 23 inches long and weighing a little under 6lbs...yeah, not cute. More like a sausage with noodle arms and legs.
And yes, I ultimately grew to 7' (kidding! I'm only 6'1") and gained another 140 lbs. So now I'm a very TALL and very OLD sausage with noodle arms and legs. However, I'm prettier now than when I was a baby! (not a high bar to pass, really!  ) |
