Over the years many different species of animal have gone viral and gained popularity, from micro pigs to wrinkly pugs.
There are some animals, however, that haven’t received the recognition that they deserve, despite being so cute they should be plastered all over Instagram.
Here are 11 of the cutest animals that deserve to go viral immediately.
1. The Sea Otter
2. The Pygmy Goat

Pygmy goats are slightly smaller versions of domestic goats, and therefore twice as Instagram-able.

Okay, so adult tapirs are sort of silly-looking, but baby tapirs are impossibly cute.
5. The Quokka
6. The Slow Loris
7. The Fennec Fox
My what lovely ears you have! The fennec fox has large ears to help them stay cool in the desert climate of North Africa. #NationalComplimentDay #MNZoomobile pic.twitter.com/nMbhht9EUY

Chinchillas are sometimes kept as pets, and are arguably the most adorable species of rodent around. They’re also famous for their super-soft fur.

IT’S A GIRL ?
Keepers have named her Kesuma, meaning ‘flower’ in Indonesian ? pic.twitter.com/vWcBMSEHhD

These ginger monkeys are always cute, but adorable Kesuma definitely deserves some popularity.
