Zoo Zurich is home to many animals, but one in particular has sent our cuteness meter into the red.

A female Bactrian Camel named Nara was born at Zoo Zurich in Switzerland.

The little cutie is so adorbz, struggling to walk (just like Bambi on the ice) because her legs are so long!

OMG! That little guy is so crazy cute, we don't know what to do!

At Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo, Jamie, an Indian Rhinoceros, gave birth to a male calf named Jiyu.

His name means compassionate friend, and that's just too sweet!

The little baby and his mama are spending time "off exhibit," which means they're away from the public, bonding as a family in private.

There was a lot of heavy rain recently, so the two-week old calf gets to splash around in mud puddles!!

This little baybay is extra special, as it's estimated that there are under 3,000 Indian Rhinos left in the entire world.

So hopefully he grows up big and strong, and can start pumping out rhinos of his own!

But don't grow up too quick just to get to breeding. You're young, enjoy the mud puddles while you've still got them.

Have you ever heard of the Southern Pudu??

It's a South African deer that is known as the smallest species of deer.

They usually measure under a foot-and-a-half tall and weigh around only 25-pounds.

Due to overhunting and habitat loss, the Pudu is considered vulnerable, so every new birth is a special one!

Just like this little cutie who was born at Nordens Ark in Sweden.

He is so incredibly tiny and so painfully cute it's ridiculous.

It's like if you took the cuteness from a kitten and puppy, injected it into a baby deer then blasted that fawn with a shrink ray and made it the size of a cat.

We could literally just stare at pictures of this little guy all dayyyyy!

Check out the video (above) to get lost in a world of tiny animal cuteness.

There are few things cuter than tiger cubs!

We somehow find them even cuter when they're endangered - we guess because they're so rare and special.

That's why we were so excited to learn that three endangered Malayan Tiger cubs were born at Busch Gardens Tampa!

On mainland Australia, Devil Ark is the largest conservation breeding program for the Tasmanian Devil.

We just learned something new about the tasmanian devil… they're SUPER cute as babies!

Just look at the pic (above) of a little Tasmanian Devil joey drinking from a bottle!!

Sooper adorbz!

Every little Devil is a gift because there's a highly contagious disease called Devil facial tumor disease (DFTD).

DFTD could lead to the extinction of of the Tasmanian Devil in the next 20 years!

So these little guys are just that much more precious!

There are over 120 Devils at the Ark and they hope to have 360 by 2016!

Good luck with the breeding! Let's keep these cuties around for future generations to "AWW" at!

At the Perth Zoo in Australia, thirteen baby Western Swamp Tortoises were born!!

The zoo has been working since 1989 to help conserve these tortoises because they're critically endangered.

They're rebuilding their wild population through their captive breeding/reintroduction program.

Since the program started all those years ago, over 800 tortoises have been born there and 600 of those have been successfully reintroduced into the wild!!

That's ahmayzing!

When these little guys are born they're so crazy small it's ridiculous!

We really realllllly want one! These little guys are painfully cute and we think they'd be perfect just crawling around our hands, all small and cute and tortoisey.

Too adorbz!!

This is absolutely heartbreaking.

A cute little koala bear made his way back to his home in New South Wales, Australia.

But once he got there… it was all gone.

The area had been cut down and chipped by logging operations.

A volunteer from a rescue operation licensed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service called WIRES snapped a pic (above).

The most heart wrenching part?
