The vintage aesthetic is one of the biggest trends out there right now, so the mustache (and the beard along with it) is making a big comeback. Combining them with cute animals, then, is a sure-fire recipe for awesomeness. With that in mind, here’s our very own collection of beautiful and adorable animals with mustaches.

No one’s 100% sure why people have beards and mustaches. Some theories hold that the growth of facial and pubic hair is a way for us to publicly display our sexual maturity or as a form of sexual differentiation, while others believe that they, as with the rest of the hair on our bodies, are a leftover from when our ancestors needed more hair to stay warm.

Wherever it is that mustaches came from, all that matters is that they make us (and these animals) just a little bit more awesome.
