Just about two weeks ago at Zoo Vienna, a brand new baby two-toed sloth was born!!

What's crazy is the baby is right where it's going to be for the next six months…

Hugging its mama!!

The zoo director said:

"Newborn Sloths use their mother for the first half year as a hammock and cling to her belly fur and cuddle."

Omg, that is seriously the cutest thing we've ever heard!

Baby sloths are nature's cuddlers!! As we previously mentioned!

This baby is the 4th child of mama Alberta so she's an experienced mother.

She's been grooming her baby, nursing him and teaching him how to nibble lettuce leaves.

So adorbz!!

Burger's Zoo in the Netherlands has a real reason to celebrate!

They found that a Ringed Seal had been suddenly born one night, back on March 1st!

The zookeepers knew the seals were mating but they weren't sure if the seals were actually mature enough to reproduce.

Well we guess they were because now they've got a little bundle of joy hanging around!

Even though zookeepers often have to step in and help new seal moms take care of their pups, this little one's mama seems to be doing a great job so far.

Burger's Zoo is actually the only place where Ringed Seals have been born, so every birth is a little miracle.

This little pup is gonna stay nursing for the next few weeks, so let's enjoy him while he's still a cute lil fuzzball!

Congrats on the new baby seal!!

Oh em gee!!!

Why is it that small versions of big things are always so impossicute??

At Chester Zoo in England a brand new baby Dik-dik Antelope was born!

She is seriously the cutest little thing ever ever ever!!

The newborn is so tiny and Bambi-looking we're losing our minds.

This little cutie could ask us to do anything and we'd have to do it because we're hypnotized by the cuteness.

Thankfully this little baby just wants to be bottle fed and hugged!

A zoo keeper said:

"Our little one is growing stronger and stronger by the day and, all being well, it shouldn’t be too long until she'll be able to really hold her own. For the time being though her feed times are staggered through the day and she has her first bottle in my living room at home at around 7am. I then pop her into the car and bring her to work where she has another three feeds in my office. Finally, her last one is at 10pm back at my house. She’s already pretty quick on her feet and gives us quite the run around in the office. That’s why we’ve called here Aluna which means ‘come here’ in Swahili. It’s rather apt!"

Ha! That's a cute and fitting name!

She's so precious we don't know what to do.

We guess we'll stare at all the extra pics (below)!

At the Warsaw Zoo, a litter of Meerkats was born back on February 2nd.

It wasn't until about two weeks after their birth that they even opened their eyes.

So they've been living in their burrow until now!

The adorbz little baybays have finally emerged from hiding and are flaunting their cuteness for the world to see!

They are seriously so crazy cute we just wanna squeeze 'em!!

Baby Meerkats just look like little stuffed animals.

Though they do have teeth. They're carnivores, native to southern Africa, in the mongoose family.

So maybe squeezing them isn't a good idea.

Guess these pics will have to do!

Check out some more pics (below) of the little cuties!

OMG!! There is nothing cuter than small versions of big things.

Australia Zoo just announced the birth of their second Southern White Rhinoceros calf, a cute lil baybay gurrrl.

We say lil just cause she's tiny for a rhino. She actually weighs about 100 pounds!!

Because of poaching for their horns, White Rhinos are listed as Near Threatened.

So every time a new Rhino is born into the world, it's an event to celebrate!

The lil baby and her mama are spending time bonding off display.

A zookeeper said:

"We're really happy with her progress. She is feeding and is quite active – she was walking within hours of the birth."

That's great! We're so glad she's healthy!

Congrats, mama Rhino!

Irish eyes are smiling..this time for two beautiful meerkat pups!

The Dublin Zoo welcomed two meerkat babes in July and visitors are finally able to see them for the first time.

Luckily for the gorgeous meerkats, taking care of young ones is a family affair as both the parents and aunties watch over the secret tunnels the meerkats burrow.

So CUTEz!!! We love these babes!
