Are these the most adorable baby animals ever? Photos of furry critters that will melt your heart... and where in the world you can find them

    Kittens and puppies are easy enough, but you'll have to venture to Madagascar to spot a wide-eyed lemur baby
    Baby kangaroos - or joeys - are only found in Australia, where they live in their mothers' pouches until they grow up
    Snow leopard cubs are few and far between as the species is endangered, but they are being bred in captivity[CN]

猫猫狗狗随处可见，但要看大眼睛的狐猴幼婴还是得到马达加斯加去一趟的。袋鼠幼婴 – 即幼兽 – 只有澳大利亚有，它们长大前一直住在妈妈的口袋里。雪豹物种濒临灭绝，幼兽也少之又少了。但它们被圈养着。

南极洲男乔治亚岛的白变种毛茸茸的海豹幼兽，也极为罕见了，它们的毛发为古铜色，眼睛和鼻子又是正常的颜色。

The fennec fox, a very small nocturnal fox with disproportionately giant ears to disperse heat, found only in the Sahara of North Africa[CN]

耳廓狐，小巧玲珑的夜行狐狸，耳朵其大用来散热，只在北非的撒哈拉存有。

A fawn with a little bell, what could be sweeter? Deer, of which there are many species, are found in abundance all around the world, but the time to go searching for newborn fawns in the UK is during late spring and early summer[CN]

带着小铃铛的小黄鹿，还有比这更可爱的吗？麋鹿，种类很多，世界各处为数都不少。但是在英国要找寻新生幼鹿最佳时间是晚春早夏交替之际。

To spot ring-tailed lemurs in the wild, usually clinging to their mothers like backpacks, you'll have to reach Madagascar, but to see them closer, head to South Africa's Monkeyland sanctuary, where they roam freely around visitors - don't go to a zoo[CN]

要在野外看环尾狐猴（它们通常像背包一样黏在父母背上），你就得去一下马达加斯加了。你要是想近距离观看，去南非的灵长类动物保护区，在那儿这些狐猴在参观者周围漫步。 - 别去动物园哦。

This is what your roast chicken looked like before it grew up and became roast chicken - a fuzzy, feathery bundle of joy with a tiny beak

Meerkats, widely adored for their quirky standing stance, live in African deserts in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa - you can see them from when they are only two weeks old, the age their mothers generally let them out of their burrow

Lion cubs, too, are native to Africa, where sadly they are often exploited and bred for the trophy hunting industry - if you want to see one head to a safari in Botswana, the only African country to have banned the practise

A young armadillo, photographed at Edinburgh zoo, which will one day grow to be about 30 inches in length and remain a solitary beast

A baby kangaroo pokes its head out of its mother's pouch, where the joey is fed and protected until it's old enough to leave - you'll have to go to Australia to find these in the wild

Behold, a floppy-eared doe-eyed bassett hound puppy, originally bred for the purpose of hunting hare in France, not that this little chap looks capable of harming so much as a fly

A baby snow leopard, offspring of a highly endangered big cat native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia - sadly the only place you can see one is in a sanctuary or a zoo, like this one in Basel Zoo, Switzerland

And here's a younger version of your bacon, otherwise known as a piglet, highly intelligent creatures that would probably rather not turn into a breakfast medallion

Sloths, this baby pictured in Costa Rica, are found in the jungles of Central and South America, and are named because they move so slowly - this is an energy conservation tactic, but sloths can in fact move quite quickly under attack from a predator

An emperor penguin chick on a mission, only inhabiting Antarctica, and though this one may be small now, it will grow to become the tallest and heaviest of all penguin species

An Australian short-beaked echidna, with a seriously sweet nose and little claws, belonging to the only class of mammal which lays eggs

A giant panda cub photographed at the Bifengxia Base of China Conservation and Research Centre in Ya'an, which is working to breed more of these endangered monochrome bears

You didn't think we'd leave out a kitten, did you? Potentially one of the cutest creatures on earth, and unlike others on this list, far from endangered and very fairly easily accessible wherever you live in the world

You're a hardened human indeed if you can't scroll through these photos without your heart doing a somersault. 

No matter the species, baby animals are agonisingly, indisputably, shamelessly adorable, as these photos prove.

But where in the world can you find such delightful specimens?

Kittens and puppies are easy enough, but you'll have to venture as far as Madagascar to spot a wide-eyed lemur baby, or Australia to snuggle with a little grey joey.
