IT'S SO FLUFFY! #cuteoff

Sometimes scientists get distracted. Today I spent far too long scrolling through the #cuteoff competition on twitter. Scientists started a friendly challenge to find the cutest animals... and for some warm and cuddly feelings, you should spare a few minutes and check them out. 

Mustard and I are obviously on the side of the invertebrates (animals without a backbone). 

Like the Teddy Bear Ant...

So it's a #CuteOff, then? Just try to top Africa's "Teddy Bear Ant". #TeamEntomology pic.twitter.com/NDkFPYycb9

Bugs are adorable, especially when they play "let's be reindeer" #CuteOff pic.twitter.com/jfE6UZsIJg

IT'S SO FLUFF I'M GONNA DIE! (for the Despicable Me fans)

For your consideration in the great #CuteOff I give you the Poodle Moth pic.twitter.com/M1UONj8kx3

And whilst this penguin is not an invertebrate, you HAVE to watch this video. Cutest thing EVER.

Anyway, get on the good old twitter and spend few minutes smiling. Besides, apparently the research shows that looking at cute pictures of baby animals actually helps you concentrate!
