Nature and animal lovers must be following hastag(#)cuteoff on Twitter. If not, then you must. A couple of months ago, someone just posted some critters with #cuttoff that was followed by masses later on. It was some scientist group that started it to have some fun, and now non-scientists are also posting their #cutoff shots. It could be anything from a cute monkey baby to a mite.
