Baby animals have a really calming quality. They still have little feet, big eyes, and undeveloped ears.

They squeak when they should roar, wobble when they walk, and have enormous eyes that seem ready to burst at any time. Mother Nature uses animal offspring to remind us that there are still happy places in the world, even if they occasionally have layers of muck, hair, or feathers covering them.

Both Etruscan shrews and bumblebee bats seem to win the distinction for being the tiniest animal. Bumblebee bats can reach a maximum length of 1.1 to 1.3 inches. and have around a 6-inch wingspan.

The shrews, however, can grow up to a powerful 2 inches in length. Even the coldest human hearts can be melted by these little floofballs and there is scientific evidence for this phenomenon.

According to research, seeing cute, defenseless animals stimulates our maternal tendencies and releases feel-good hormones into our brains. A trip to the neighborhood shelter to adopt one or four little animals that you never realized you needed could be the outcome of instant emotional treatment.

Get ready for an emotional reset if you're having a difficult day. Feeling overwhelmed? We have compiled the cutest baby animal photos for you to look at.

So take a seat, unwind, continue scrolling, and allow the stress to gradually evaporate.

His name is Shadow, he was an auction pull, and he is 6-8 months old. He isn't adoptable yet because he has something going on with his back end, probably why he was dumped at an auction.

34. 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.

38. 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.

44. 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!

50. Does Anyone Know Roughly How Old This Baby Squirrel Is?

The baby squirrel above was found on a nearby road. It was trying to climb a wall and kept falling, holding its arm up with its other arm, and making a high-pitched squealing sound.

Since it appeared to be in pain and it was extremely cold and rainy outside, those who saw it made the decision to take it back for assistance. It appears to be between 8 and 10 weeks old because it has begun to learn how to climb.
