18 Baby Animal Facts That Make Us Want to Thank Mother Earth for All the Smiles

A study has concluded that looking at endearing animal pictures can improve focus. And if we add in baby animal facts to the mix, it’s double the joy. Like a baby elephant who has no idea about what to do with that “arm” on its face, or a pygmy marmoset infant “talking” just like babies do — even the size of a panda bear cub at birth — we just can’t get enough.

Panda bear cubs are born the size of a stick of butter. Panda moms birth cubs that are 1/900th their size, weighing just 90-130 grams — just like your average stick of butter — only pinker, wigglier, and blind as a bat. This makes for one of nature's most diverse size differences between a newborn and an adult. © ChinaImages/Depositphotos.com
