CUTE-OFF
Listen, I guess baby elephants are cute if you're into super boring things that everyone thinks are cute. Zzzzzzzzz. But if you're the type of person who likes to find your squees in unusual faces, look no further than the adorably mustached baby walrus in a bucket. I mean, he's in a bucket for starters. He's also an orphan. Are you really going to be the one to tell him he's not cute? That would be heartless.

Meet Anchali, the baby elephant who's proof that elephants aren't just normal animal cute, they are exceptionally, painfully cute. Take note of her floppy ears, her wee little trunk, and her fuzzy head and knees. Does everyone thinks she's cute? Yeah, maybe. But that's because LOOK AT HOW CUTE SHE IS. Frankly, I think that walrus up there would agree.
