Our planet has been creating its own masterpieces for millions of years, and we will probably never be able to experience or see everything the world has prepared for us. Sounds sad, but it also means that we have enough breathtaking things to see for the rest of our lives. The world is wonderful, and we share it with the most adorable creatures.

Here at Bright Side we’ve discovered some super adorable animals who conquered our hearts at first sight. Take a look, maybe they’ll win yours too!

1. Long-tailed tit ⠀

2. Ezo Momonga

These cuties are from Japan as well. They’re about 8 inches in length, and have a membrane between their ankles and wrists so they can glide. They hide in holes during the day and come out at night to forage for food.

3. Pika

4. White weasel

They may look tiny, but don’t fall for it — weasels are active predators. Interestingly, different kinds of weasels live everywhere in the world except for Australia, Antarctica, and their neighboring islands.

5. Sand cat

Sand cats live far from water sources, in sandy and stony deserts. They are widely distributed in the Arabian peninsula and the Middle East, and are listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, so they are totally fine.

6. Blue-footed booby

It is s a marine bird living in the regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean. The brightness of their feet is dependent on their age and fades over time. Females tend to mate with younger males who have brighter feet.

7. American marten

8. Coati

Coatis are mammals that live in South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. When a coati sleeps, it tucks its nose into its belly. This sounds sweet, but it is for defense. When provoked, they can be fierce fighters — coatis have strong jaws and sharp canine teeth.

9. Short-eared elephant shrew

These are small (around 6 inches cm long) mammals native to Africa. Elephant shrews are one of the fastest small mammals, and they’ve been recorded to reach a speed of 17.9 mph (28.8 km/h). Despite their small size, they’re more closely related to elephants than to shrews!

10. Highland cattle

11. African Pygmy Falcon

The African pygmy falcon lives in eastern and southern Africa. Being only 8 inches long, it’s the smallest raptor on the continent.
