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 together 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.

#10 Baby Skunk Fell Asleep In My Hand Yesterday As I Returned It To Its Burrow

Not a pet. My son found it in the driveway. I’ve seen its mother on the hill above my house, always in the same spot. Figured it was where they lived, and I was right; there was another baby sleeping outside a hole in the ground. It ran into it when I approached, so I set its sibling down next to where it was sleeping. It ran inside.

#19 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.

#32 Javelina Baby

We’re still getting javelina babies (also called “reds”) this time of year. If separated from their mothers and the herd, it can be touch-and-go for a few weeks because they’re pretty sensitive to the cold. For these adorable (but feisty!) babes, a heat source is a must for survival. Depending on their age at arrival, we offer a warm incubator, ceramic heat lamps, heating pads, or heated mats in their enclosures until they’re several months old and ready for life with a new herd. Oh, and they all get a cuddle buddy!

#35 One Of Our Baby Raccoon Rescues Is Waving “Hello”

My wife has her wildlife rehabilitation license in Florida, and the doctor at the veterinarian clinic she works at sees wildlife pro bono, so we often have all sorts of wildlife in our home. The patients we have eventually “graduate” to another local rehabilitator who has much more space and resources than we do, but sometimes we get to facilitate a release.

#46 These Little Babies Are Living Under My Porch

They’re at the age where they’re starting to explore I guess. I saw mama bun last night so I know they’re being fed. My dog and ducks are super interested in them so everytime I come outside with them, I see one and gently put them back under the porch for safety, at least until they’re a bit bigger. They can explore safely when my dog is inside and my ducks are in their enclosure. They’re just so adorable, figured everyone would enjoy a good bun pic.

#47 Feeding Schedule For Bottle Babies?

Mama has not been able to stand from a case of pregnancy toxemia, so these two have been bottle fed from day one. Currently, we get up around 1 to 2 am for a night feeding. How long will that be necessary, or does anyone do that besides us?
