There are more cute animals out there than cats and dogs. Here to widen your perspective are 19 new cute animals to fawn over!

1. Fennec fox

These cuties are natives of the Sahara and can even be kept as pets!

2. Dugong

This song about them will get stuck in your head.

3. Capybara

Capybaras are the largest living rodents in the world. Also, they're apparently really chill with other animals.

4. Kiwi

They're even cuter than the fruit.

5. Caracal

Look at those ear tufts! Caracals are also known as the desert lynx.

6. Pygmy jeroba

I think to fully appreciate these guys, you have to see them move.

7. Pygmy marmoset

At just 3.5 ounces, pgymy marmosets are the smallest monkey in the world.

8. Klipspringer

Klipspringers are small (17-24 in. and 18 to 40 lbs.) antelopes from Africa and are nocturnal.

9. Dik-dik


Speaking of small African mammals, dik-diks get their names for the alarm calls in the females; though, both males and females produce a shrill, whistling sound.

10. Flapjack octopus

Look at it go! These little ones only grow up to be about 20cm at most, so they remain tiny and squishy their whole lives. If this looks familiar, it is probably because Pearl from Finding Nemo is a flapjack octopus!

11. Royal flycatcher

Not much can be said about these, but their built in crowns are adorable.

12. Kinkajou

They may look like a ferret or monkey, but these rainforest animals are actually closely related to raccoons.

13. Basilisk lizard

Also known as the "Jesus Christ lizard," these guys can run on water!

14. Gerenuk

Their nickname of the "giraffe gazelle" is very valid.

15. Green heron

Green herons are deceptive. You think they have no neck at all but... nope. Super long neck!

16. Fossa

To me, they kind of look like a combination of a ferret and an otter, just a lot larger. Anyone else see it?

17. Serval

The serval is a slender, medium-sized cat native to Africa.

18. Axolotl

Also known as the Mexican salamander, axolotls are unfortunately endangered due to urbanization in Mexico City and the consequent water pollution.

19. Quokka

Found in some islands off the coast of Western Australia. They're in the same families as kangaroos and wallabies.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
