19 Super Cute Animals You've Probably Never Heard Of

San Diego Zoo

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.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
