You Can’t Defeat the Elephant Shrew Cuteness

You just can’t. I hereby declare that I win the internets (the Great Elephant Shrewquake begins at around 2:00, followed by the Great Elephant Shrew Eruption at around 3:00; 4:00 has some funny nose twitch action):

    To me the Pyrenean Desman will be my eternal No1 in cuteness. This Elephant Shrew you are proposing is just too sleek and pretty for anything above No2. To me , real cuteness needs something pitifully ugly, my personal No2 is, of course, the Aardvark. Plain ugliness, together with a beautiful personality, do not get far, the Naked mole rat is way down the list. For sheer cuteness of a species, baby animals do not really count, but : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y3b3_E2FxQ/Ta3D2fS78wI/AAAAAAAADXQ/KNs9lIRpE6E/s1600/Tapir_1378406i.jpg
