In my opinion... All baby animals are kinda cute. Exept about 50 % off birds. They look like they are part off an unholy experiment.

I’m think your saying the one on the right is a bird. But then you have to consider the documentary about the one on the left learning to fly. So if I guess both animals are birds.

Elephants are birds and capybaras are fish.

50 % off birds

Well you can't expect the clearance birds to be as nice as the full price ones!

All baby birds are grotesque until they grow feathers.

TBH the feathered fledglings are kind weird in the uncanny valley sense, too.

Like bro thats not what that bird is supposed to look like. It's wrong.

Baby humans are most certainly not cute... More like a over baked potato

half of human babies are just.. fine.. and the other half look like old british men at a pub

Agreed, the first 6 months/one year they can look seriously fucked up.

Some birds come out half-baked. Needed another week in the egg.

They're so cute until they get off mom's back and become nightmare sand.
