People don't know what kind of animal it is

Animals are always beautiful regardless of their peculiarities. But oftentimes those who are more cheerful are liked more and are more cute.

Some theories hold that, in finding an animal cute, we are seeing characteristics that we look for in our children. We find large eyes, round heads, and short snouts adorable in animals because we appreciate them in healthy infants as well.

The fluffier an animal is, the more its sharper features are hidden and the more it looks like a chubby toddler. It does make sense when you think about it.

Of course, only some of the cute animals on this list are naturally this fluffy – many have been bred primarily for this purpose. The Angora rabbit, bred for its wool, is one such species – rabbits this fluffy do not occur anywhere in the wild. Others on this list, like the Arctic fox or Chow Chow, are naturally fluffy due to being descendants of colder climates. They get even fuzzier in the winter when their hair lengthens into a thicker winter coat. And if you feel tempted to get yourself a fuzzy, cute pet, remember that luscious locks require quite a lot of elbow grease to keep them looking like the animals pictured below.

So, if you want to check our compilation of fluffy animals, scroll down below. Not only are the classical fuzzy choices such as fluffy cats and fluffy dogs there, but we’ve also included penguins, cows, and even a pig into our list.
