We all love animals! And there's nothing better than a cute, cuddly, or interesting animal that also embodies a lot of unique traits and behaviors. Here is a power ranking of the top 10 cutest, and coolest, animals of all time.

10. The Turtle

The turtle is a cute sea reptile that is often used for animation purposes, such as in "Finding Nemo." But what really makes these little guys pretty adorable is their huge "googly" eyes and mini arms. They often use their shells to hide from predators and have special glands that remove the salt from the water they drink. Pretty cool if you ask me!

9. The Chipmunk

These tiny balls of fur are most commonly known for their extremely chubby cheeks, which make them the perfect candidate as one of the cutest animals. These chubs are formed by the action of storing food and nuts, one of the resourceful habits of the chipmunk.

8. The Seahorse

Being one of the coolest creatures of the deep, the seahorse is also one of the cutest. Its curled tail and long snout make this tiny creature a true beauty. They are seen in all types of colors and shapes. And fun fact: the males carry the babies! Quite a unique animal I must say...

7. The Penguin

The cutest thing about the penguin is its little waddle, which often leads to an adorable wipeout on the slick ice. These fuzzy guys really are precious, and they are expert divers!

6. The Polar Bear

Like the penguin, the polar bear also owns an adorable thick coat of fur to endure cold temperatures. And this fur blanket isn't the only thing that keeps them warm. Polar bears are especially cute due to their love for cuddling!

5. The Panda

The panda is another bear that loves to cuddle and spend its days looking cute. Its dark circles around the eyes make for an adorable "I haven't had my coffee yet" look. For eating mostly plants, these guys are pretty chubby, which makes them even cuter.

4. The Giraffe

Baby giraffes really are to die for. Due to their long, skinny legs, learning to walk serves as a difficult task to most babies, and they often stumble and fall countlessly before taking their first steps. So cute!

3. The Dolphin

We've all seen "Free Willy" and have fallen in love with these precious water mammals. They are both cute and friendly. The best part about them is that they love us and we are able to interact with them close up to better admire their cuteness.

2. The Cat

Although many people are allergic, it's hard to stay away from these precious little fuzzies. They are so cuddly and peaceful (usually), and they are perfect companions for crazy cat ladies!

1. The Dog

There is no doubt that the cutest and nicest companions are dogs. Their loyalty and cuddles make life so much sweeter. Every breed of dog is cute in its own way, but Corgis are the best. Just saying. Look at those legs!
