Those cuties will make you smile…
Fennec Desert Fox
Fennec fox are so adorable!
Fennec foxes are desert animals of The Sahara in North Africa. They been in existence for thousands of years, so they're more than resourceful in harsh environments. They're very social and sometimes they're interbreed with domesticated dogs.
Tapir.
Tapir – such a cute spotted creature. The tapir's natural home is in the jungles of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia.
They're good swimmers and the water is their favorite place to be. Their diet consists of plant-life in and around rivers. They have a shy nature, but have been known to be violent and defensive when nursing babies.
Sand Cat
The Sand Cat (Felis Margarita) is a little- known species of desert cats. They live in the harshest deserts of Africa and Asia. They're comfortable in environments other wildcats cannot handle, like the Sahara and Arabian deserts as well as those of Iran and Pakistan
Sand cats look a like domestic cats, but they're larger and thicker, especially around the head. Their ears are wider apart which flattens out when crouching down for the hunt. Fur lines their under-paws and between the toes to protect against the scorching sand.
The most interesting fact is this cat can go for months without drinking water! Oddly, as a wildcat they're not afraid of humans.
Don't be fooled by their cute appearance – they are simply fearless.
Porcupine
It's so adorable, we can barely hold back the urge to touch! Caution, this prickly baby is equipped to defend. When babies are born their quills are soft but within an hour they harden like needles.
If you're hiking in a forest (Americas, Southern Asia, and Africa), know they like to be near trees. Although they're peaceful critters, if shocked or cornered they can pose a painful threat.
Peacock
Peacocks must be spoiled! They're lovely as babies (known as pea chicks) and they're breath-taking as adults, especially the males, sporting colorful courtship plumage! Another name for Peacocks is Peafowl, they're a part of the pheasant family stemming from Asia and Africa.
Bush Baby
Galagos aka bushbabies, bush babies, or nagapies.
Such a cute character - just take a look at the size of those eyes! The Bush Baby is a Prosimian Primate and in the same family as the Lemur.
They are native to Africa and Asia, not Madagascar where their cousin the Lemur lives. Also the Lemur's diet consists mainly of vegetation, and Bush Babies rely much more on animal protein for their diet. This hunter is nocturnal and is stealthy at catching snakes, rodents, insects and birds.
It's said that they are nocturnal due to competition with other advanced primates who share the same diet.
Dolphin Calf
Dolphins are marine mammals related to whales and porpoises. They're one of the most intelligent animals around, not to mention their friendly and playful personalities!
Golden Brushtail Possum
Tasmania has some of the rarest animals and the Golden Brushtail Possum is one. Their fair-colored fur and pink tinge around dark eyes are due to the low melanin in their skin.
Unfortunately what makes them so special, also makes them an easy target for predators to see. Their fluffy coloring prevents them from hiding in foliage, therefore they're only found in small areas that contain fewer wild predators. Like all possums, the Golden Brushtail is traditionally nocturnal. It forages mainly for vegetation like eucalyptus leaves, but also includes in its diet small mammals like rats.
Lemur
Living in Madagascar , highly social creatures, ring-tailed lemurs live in groups averaging 17 members. Their society is female-dominant, and a group will often contain multiple breeding females. Females reproduce starting at 3 years of age, generally giving birth to one baby a year.
