Red Panda
Unfortunately, the red panda is on the verge of extinction due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression. There are currently less than 10,000 mature red pandas in the wild. Many people don’t know this, but the red panda is closely related to the giant panda and is also part of the Ailurus family.
Surveys have shown that red pandas are considered some of the cutest animals in the world, and of course, they deserve this prestige. In fact, red pandas are not only adorable, but they are also very intelligent creatures with interesting personality traits.
As you probably know, red pandas are excellent climbers, that’s why they sleep on the tree branches. They feed on bamboo, small birds, eggs, flowers and various berries.
Sea Otters
As you can see in the picture above, sea otters are some of the most adorable marine mammals in the world. They can be found swimming in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Generally, they feed on marine invertebrates, such as sea urchins, mollusks and crustaceans, and sometimes fish.
However, did you know that they can live their entire life without living the waters of the Pacific Ocean and can catch fish with their forepaws (not with their mouth like other animals)? These cute mammals have the densest fur out there and are the only creature on the planet with this feature, but unfortunately, humans hunt them for their beloved fur.
Quokka
The quokka, or the short-tailed scrub wallaby, is part of the macropod family and loves plant based diets and nocturnal activities. These marsupials are closely related to kangaroos and wallabies and are just as big as a domestic cat.
These creatures are considered the happiest animals in the world because they look like they are always smiling, so this is the reason why they are among the cutest animals in the world.
As I said before, they feed at night and their diet consists of leaves, stems and other various plants. After the gestation period of the females which is about a month, they give birth to a baby called joey.
