3. The Chinstrap Penguins
"Chinstrap penguins inhabit a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the Antarctic Oceans. They spend their winters hitchhiking on icebergs in warmer waters. Their name comes from the narrow black band below the beak, which makes them appear as if they are wearing a black helmet."

That first penguin shot sets the tone right away.
4. The male Malaysian crested argus
"The tail feathers of the male Malayan crested argus are considered to be the longest and widest of any bird. The tail covert can measure up to 1.73 m (5.7 ft), giving the bird a total length of up to 2.4 m (7.8 ft). The crested argus is a peafowl-like species of bird in the pheasant family."

5. They are all snuggly cute

6. The maned wolf
"The maned wolf is one of the largest canids in South America. This species is the only member of its genus. Although technically, it is not a fox or a wolf, its long legs are likely an adaptation to the tall grasslands of its native habitat."

Some of these animals look like they walked straight out of a storybook.
