    Yaknow… There’s a freshly born stage and then a teenie cite stage.

    Many freshly born animals are not cute at all. Even for a few weeks. Then you give it 2 months and it’s cuter. Still a baby.

    Small spiders. They are not fast, and then help keep my environment bug-free.

    Edit: I misunderstood the assignment. I thought the question was asking which animals I found cuter after I became an adult.

      I dunno. This is a tough one, because guinea pigs are absolutely one of the cutest at birth. Folks expect them to pop out pink and blind, but they come out like tiny little guinea pigs. Already have their hair, almost ready to walk, eat hay, and make jelly beans.

      Don’t get me wrong, adult guinea pigs are pretty damn adorable. But the babies are the cutest, right up to about 4 weeks old when the baby boys start screwing their sisters and Mom.

      I’m having trouble trying to decide. The only difference I can think of between the babies and the adults is size, and I think being smaller always makes you cuter.

    The aye-aye is weird-looking enough as an adult, but it looks like a Jim Henson creation as a baby.

      I mean, there are a bunch of cute Henson creatures, but I neither disagree with you nor think this thing is in any way cute as a baby

      Yeah. Came here to say most rodents would fit this bill though even the adults aren’t for all tastes. Mice, etc. are much cuter when they have fur.

      Newborn cats aren’t all that great looking.

    Stellars Jays spring to mind. One of the most beautifully punk-rock looking birds and worryingly intellegent, but my god their young look like nothing more than cancerous scrotums.
