I first saw a chinchilla when I was a little kid on vacation with my parents and sister. We went into the largest pet shop I had ever seen, and saw a bunch of fuzzy little chinchillas that to me resembled something between a gerbil and a guinea pig. Chinchillas are very different rodents of course, and adorable in their own right. They actually originate from the Andes and you could read all about them in Wikipedia’s Chinchilla article.

Blue Bear surprised me with this goofy picture early this morning to help inspire me for the day. I love dachshunds, so what could possibly be better than a picture of a dachshund doggy with her one-day-old puppies? This is too cute and sweet. Thanks Blue Bear!

Like most (if not all) Australian marsupials, wombats are goofy not-so-little creatures weighing anywhere between 20 to 35 kg according to Wikipedia’s wombat article. They have goofy ears, funny noses, and sweet eyes, and certainly look incredibly huggable. I would love the opportunity to hug one, wouldn’t you?

A little while ago, Penguin posted a picture of an adorable hamster eating broccoli. The other day, Blue Bear read an article where the same hamster was featured, in gif form! This of course, is very good luck, because if you though that the motionless picture was cute, watch when you see this little hammy in full action. That broccoli looks super delicious; especially after witnessing his feet-flopping enjoyment of it.

Jackals tend to get a bad reputation because of the way they’re portrayed in movies like The Omen, but in spite of that they are actually very cute. I decided to post this picture of adorable jackal siblings being friendly with each other to show that they aren’t grumpy or evil, but are instead fuzzy little guys with adorably over-sized ears. Enjoy!
