The Cute Animal Thread that Elyscape got to rename because it was in the wrong place

I cannot. Eric, you have killed me. The overdose of cute has killed me dead.

Every time I check out that puppy stream, they snooze. What are they, cats?

You forgot the quote, "I am a biotic god!"

Weak copy. The little bugger I posted can survive in deep space, and still look cute. A lot more cute than this whatever you posted.

I bring you: Wrinkly dogs

Thanks to you I bought this. Good thing that I work at a place where 'want to see my book of Nudi pictures' is greeted with polite curiosity. Always wanted to read up on the little buggers. So, thanks !

Yay, nudi pictures for everyone :D. I'm so jealous.

You should see the gills on some of them !

I mean, just look at them !

From With Leather:

Zip won five championships in agility before an accident left her paralysed.

Now, they take the bars off for her and let her run between the posts, and she still makes little jumps as she goes through them.

Today, my hedgehog self got bathed. My owner took a picture of me, the nerve of her!
Nobody needs to see my fantastic, soft, underside. It's very private, you know.

How come you can hold him like that in your hand, unprotected? Or are pet hedgehogs less spiky that then wild ones?

Man, hedgehogs are so cute. <3 <3 <3

So are hippos!

I heard a weird news story that people are coming down with cases of salmonella from handling hedgehogs. So uh, wash your hands after you handle your hedgehog.

Ah, euphemism!

Well, they're more prickly than spiky. They shouldn't be a problem unless you're rubbing the spikes in the wrong alignment.

Really? Wait, how?
So, I shouldn't be kissing hedgehogs?

Yeah: http://vitals.nbcnews.com/_news/201...ehogs-sicken-14-with-salmonella-cdc-says?lite

We have wild hedgehogs in the garden and I need to get gloves when I want to pick them up and move them (they sometimes get where they shouldn't, no(i)sy little buggers).

No, they're not! They're most dangerous animal in Africa!

Woa. Now I'm definitely washing my hands after handling my hedgehog.

Yikes, although I guess that's generally a good idea to wash hands after handling any kind of animals!

The hedgehogs that I used to have (one of them died a year ago) were rather calm animals.
I suppose, squirming wild animals would make make their spikes more of a problem? You have hedgehogs in your garden? :3 Noisy buggers? But they're so cute!!!!!

Have a cousin of the hedgehogs, a porcupine!!! It's albino....and vaguely wierd looking!

Fun fact: baby porcupines are called porcupets. And they are utterly adorable.

I didn't say they weren't dangerous! They just happen to be adorable while they murder!

i was feeling really sad and then i went on tumblr and



this precious angel.

Albino porcupine is a serious contender for baddest motherfucker.

Today I had a vision and I was caused to become happy.

Being an Australian species the Quokka will probably kill you in some way...

The second one definitely looks like it's planning something.

Nah man, it looks like a pin-up girl.

Not sure how to embed the news video, so here's a link instead:
