21 Of the World’s Ugly Yet Cute Animals
There is a difference between what we define as unbearably cute and unbelievably ugly. Living on this planet can sometimes blur that difference, which makes it difficult to decide which one is which. But let’s be completely honest – even human babies can look a bit freaky.
Take the blobfish for instance, it was recently voted as the world’s ugliest animal. But if you take a really good look at them, blobfish are kind of cute. You can help us decide whether these animals are too hideous or too cute for their own good.
21. A Baby Wombat
More than a few people are happy that wombats spend the majority of their lives burrowed underground. But at least this one found a new friend!
20. The Blob Fish
What’s with the long face? It’s probably from being voted as the world’s ugliest animal. Don’t worry; we think you look just fine!
19. A Baby Bat
Those long black claws and bulbous eyes that can bore into the soul are quite distressing. But doesn’t he look kind of adorable?
18. A Baby Hippopotamus
You know I’m the cutest of them all. Don’t be such a hippo-crit!
17. A Baby Octopus
This could be one of the cutest animals you’ve seen so far, but if you found it on your bed you might probably assume there’s an alien invasion taking place.
16. The ‘Strangler’ Monkeys
They could either pass as cute teddy bears or terrifying toys.
15. The Sphynx Cats
They’re sometimes called “the devil’s cats”. Despite their rather strange appearance, sphynxes are still the sweetest cats anyone could want!
14. A 2-Day-Old Hedgehog
In all fairness, human babies don’t look so cute either until a couple of weeks after birth.
13. Pugs
He may be wrinkly, but that smile is beyond cute!
12. A Goat Like This
When we wake up in the morning, we look sort of like this too.
11. A Baby Echidna
This baby echidna will look like a hedgehog and anteater when it grows older, but let’s appreciate its cuteness while it’s still a baby!
10. The Sloth
Ah, the sloth; whether it is cute or ugly has been a hot topic for years. What do you think?
9. The Pygmy Tarsier
This shy cutie’s eyes are as big as its brain! They look just as shocked as you!
8. A Baby Armadillo
Baby armadillos are like small versions of dinosaurs, which makes them cute and other-worldly. But they’re also the only known animal to carry leprosy, so be careful.
7. A Blue Footed Booby
We promise you this is a real animal and not an adorable toy that you’d want to take home and play with.
6. A Baby Aardvark
Piglet? Hairless rabbit? No, a baby aardvark that just wants a hug!
5. Bubble Eyed Fishes
Mother Nature’s version of bubble wrap. Does it help them float?
4. Baby Crocodile
We all know he’ll grow up to be a dangerous predator, but you’ve gotta admit that he’s cute in his own dangerous way.
3. A Baby Proboscis Monkey
The Proboscis monkey starts out as a very cute chimp and is known for its rather large nose.
2. The Angora Rabbit
The Angora rabbit is known to have extremely soft wool that turns it into a snowball. Its wool is said to be softer than cashmere. You know you want to cuddle it.
1. The Baby Cardinal
They may not look like the fierce birds they’ll eventually grow up to be, but these baby cardinals will get there… eventually.
