Cutest Animals You've Never Heard Of

#1 The Sugar Glider

Originating in Australia, the gorgeous Sugar Glider is a lot like a flying squirell. They prefer sweet nectar-filled foods too!

#2 The Australian Wallaby

Certainly not the only little-known Australian animal to be dubbed "cute", this baby wallaby is adorable!

#3 The Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat

This little critter is found in Australia, and like most marsupials, they're adorable! Fancy cuddling one of these - so sweet.

#4 The Red-Crested Tree Rat

Who ever thought a rat could be so cute, right? This Red-Crested Tree Rat has beautiful coloring.

#5 The Ploughshare Tortoise

Found in Madagascar, the Ploughshare Tortoise, or Angonoka Tortoise, is critically endangered. Just look at how tiny this baby is!

#6 The Roloway Monkey

Aww, just look at this little fellow clinging on to his soft toy! This is a baby Roloway Monkey, and they are only found in a small area of eastern Côte d'Ivoire and in the forests of Ghana.

#7 The Hainan Gibbon

Look at this baby Hainan Gibbon! This species is so rare that they are only found on Hainan Island in China.
 

#8 The Red Panda

The Red Panda is found in the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. This cutie may be called a panda, but its closest animal relatives are the raccoon, skunk and weasel!

#9 The Numbat

Numbats are a marsupial found in Western Australia. This baby numbat is smaller than a human hand!

#10 The Jerboa

Look at those over-sized ears! This little animal is a cross between a mouse and a rabbit, and it is totally adorable.
