There's something oh-so-soothing about baby animals. Tiny paws, oversized eyes, and ears they are yet to grow into. They wobble when they walk, squeak when they're supposed to roar, and stare at the world with eyes so big they look like they could pop at any moment.
Animal babies are Mother Nature's way of telling us that pockets of joy do still exist. Even if they're sometimes wrapped in feathers, fur, or the occasional layer of mud.
These teeny-weeny floofballs have the ability to melt even the iciest of human hearts. It's a phenomenon backed up by science. Research shows that looking at adorable, helpless creatures triggers our nurturing instincts and gives our brains a boost of feel-good chemicals. Instant emotional therapy that could result in a trip to the local shelter to adopt one or four baby animals that you never knew you needed.
If you're having a rough day, prepare for an emotional reset. Bored Panda has gathered the most ridiculously cute baby animal pics for you to stare at when everything gets too much. So sit back, relax, keep scrolling, and feel the tension slowly start to melt away.
#41 Does Anyone Know Roughly How Old This Baby Squirrel Is?
We found this baby squirrel out on a road nearby, it was attempting to climb a wall and kept falling, it was holding its arm up, and holding it with its other arm, and also making a high pitched squealing noise, so we decided to take it back to help it, as it seemed hurt, and it was freezing cold and raining heavily outside. It has started to learn to climb from what it seems, so I’m thinking it’s possibly between 8-10 weeks old.

#50 A Baby Miniature Horse We Have At Our Rescue Right Now
His name is Shadow, he was an auction pull, and he is 6-8 months old. He isn't adoptable yet because he has something going on with his back end, probably why he was dumped at an auction.
