Photographs combined with miscellaneous facts about all sorts of animals that could be dubbed cute by a variety of standards.

About half of these are baby animals, while the others are just in the realm of possible cuteness depending on your definition of cuteness (it ranges from fluffy things to colorful bugs to Komodo dragons). Interesting little tidbits of information are perfect for animal lovers and random fact sponges. And the photographs should appeal to just about everyone.

Spoiler :
Why would you put a spider, tokay gecko, snake or any type of bug in a “cutest animals on the planet” book??? Btw there were cute animals too, like river otters and baby emperor penguins.
