Doesn't make sense?!?!?! Well let us (by us we mean scientists) explain!

Scientists once estimated that over 100 million species of plants and animals roam the earth. With a number that high, many believed that there was no way to discover and name all of them before some went extinct.

Not so fast!

Recently, researchers have found that this may not be the case. With the increase in taxonomists, it is possible to name all of the world's unknown species?!?!

But how does this help??? We'll tell you how!!!

Wunderbar!!!!! These cuties are rare, magical cutie delights!

Six white lion cubs are bringing smiles to the Stuckenbrock Safari Park and we've been gushing on these babes all day!

White lions are extremely under threat of extinction and these SIX little ones are definitely a gift.

Watch the PRESCHUZZ babes (above) RIGHT NOW!

Lion trophy imports to the States have been on the rise, and Ke$ha & the Humane Society don't like that….

Not…one..BIT!!!!

The diva and animal rights organization have teamed up to urge the public to sign a petition that will list the African lion as an endangered species.

Ke$ha tweets:

And this cutie was born on Christmas too!!!!

The first rhino born in Poland is making his debut as parents Kuba and Shikari have made a srsly too ADORBz babe!

The Indian rhino is one of the rarest mammals in the world, and many staffers are stating that this birth is one of the most important in Polish zoo history!!!

Watch this rare and PRESCHUZZ cuteness (above) PRONTO!

A new little cutie is the latest guest staying at Zoo Basel in Switzerland.

She's not only adorbz, but also super rare!

Her name is Jana and she is an "extraordinarily lively" Somali Wild Ass!

She looks like a donkey zebra!

She's apparently a curious little girl, investigating her enclosure and checking out her neighboring animals.

Jana is part of a critically endangered species, so we're glad she's so healthy.

There are only about 200 Wild Asses in zoos across the world and only about 1,000 more in the wild.

So every new baby is a total miracle!

Way to go, Zoo Basel! Take care of that baybay!

Ooooh…looks like this little babe is in trawble!!!!

A pygmy hippo at the Lowry Park Zoo finally has a name and she is loving life!

Zola is the second hippo birth in the zoo's history and Zsa Zsa is making sure her cutie is big and strong.

Except when she takes an unsupervised swim! Then it's time for Mean Mama!

Pygmy hippos are currently listed as endangered so we know Zola is a welcome addition to the fam!

Rare…and GAWRGEOUS!!!!!

The Bronx Zoo has welcomed Five Chinese yellow-headed box turtles and they are starting to get their sea legs.

This box turtle is considered to be one of the top 25 most endangered turtles in the world. They once swam throughout the rivers of China but their numbers have dwindled due to human consumption, use in traditional medicine, pollution, habitat loss, and the pet trade.

So we know the Bronx Zoo is extra happy about their new babies!

Aren't they just so PRESCHUZZ?????

Check out the zoo's new cuties (above) PRONTO!
