I asked my team to send me their cutest animals. Here they are:

Our editor Matt Walker goes for these two:

My (Melissa Hogenboom) choices are also obviously cute...

Michael Marshall picks a baby capybara. Rodents can clearly be cute too.

As is evident by Howard Timberlake's choice.

BBC Future's David Robson picks this adorable red panda cub.

Kara Segedin goes for otters.

And one for luck, here is a baby sloth which was born by Caesarean section.
