Trying my hand at the LSI Madness game with an edition involving some of our planet's cutest animals. Hope you like it. Each round will be up for at least a few days to give members time to vote; there'll be 64 creatures in total for you to whittle down to one: the cutest by majority vote.

There aren't really any rules other than the website's usual, but I do ask that you click the links to check out each of the images. Hopefully there will be a few creatures you were previously unfamiliar with.

N.B. There are a boatload of adorable puppy, kitten, rabbit, etc. pics out there, and pretty much every baby/young animal is cute - thus, I've gone with less obvious choices, the images of which should be adults.

I also opted for photos where the creatures are in a natural habitat; are alone; and in which most or all of their body is showing. Hence, the linked images might not be the cutest of each animal, but they're "fair".


Get ready to make some tough choices, folks.

WINNER: Ermines

Feel free to make comments about the toughness of certain decisions or if you disagree with calling a particular creature "cute".

Piglet squid (Neither of them very cute)

How can a caterpillar be an adult? And shouldn't it be moth rather than mother?

I approve of this game.

You don't like the piglet squid? It's so funny-looking. Like a chubby, transparent face with curly hair.

Funny thing about piglet squids: There are at least two, very different-looking versions and I can't find an explanation as to why. A friend suggested the transparent one is the adult. The smaller one looks like this. Vegetable with eyes.

I know, but 'twas deliberate. It was difficult to choose images for some of them - different sub-species or having to ignore the pics where they look the most adorable.

I wanted to go with images where they look natural and the photo isn't taken in a way that makes them look especially cute.

I've always wanted a hedgehog and a fox. I'll take one of those weasels too.

I don't know about the weasel, but I know people keep ferrets as pets and they look somewhat similar.

We used to have hedgehogs living under the shed! But that was years ago and we've seen none since then. :-(

oh late with a comment as to why chose Hedgehog--besides liking British versions of things in general---have a hedgehog boot scraper ---(never use it! its a cute decoration!) So guess after living with one, I'm partial to that choice!

Hedgehogs are British? I don't think your comment will spoil the game since this isn't a competition, and it's unlikely to change people's opinion. Joey said feel free to comment.

The piglet squid becomes cuter the more I look at it.

On Google Images there are completely brown hedgehogs and hedgehogs with a white underbelly. Maybe the former are the British version of the American hedgehog and that's what Practice meant. Although if they're "British", they're also probably like that throughout Europe, like the European robin (compared to the American). I don't know.

Damn it was hard to choose between the wombat and hedgehog. Also, aw, the slow loris. They are cuties.

I had to go with Jeff on the echidna - the Japanese Dwarf Flying Squirrel is kinda freaky-looking to me. Surely where the Japanese took the huge anime eyes from.

For Lisa and Joey's comments above---

Using a Wikipedia article as it says it better than I can:

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, which is in the order Erinaceomorpha. There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and New Zealand (by introduction). There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas. Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years.[2] Like many of the first mammals, they have adapted to a nocturnal way of life.[3] Hedgehogs' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated rodent porcupines and monotreme echidnas.

The name hedgehog came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle English heyghoge, from heyg, hegge ("hedge"), because it frequents hedgerows, and hoge, hogge ("hog"), from its piglike snout.[4] Other names include urchin, hedgepig and furze-pig. The collective noun for a group of hedgehogs is array or prickle.


And for the Robin---happy you chose that as your example Joey--I get to copy and paste my favorite Robin "story" for others to read:

The early English colonists, who had doubtless been
brought up, like the rest of us, on "The Babes in the
Wood," named the bird after the only heroes ia that
melancholy tale; but in reality the American robin is a
much larger bird than the little European robin-red-
breast and less brilliantly colored. John Burroughs calls
him, of all our birds, "the most native and democratic."

From "Birds Worth Knowing" 1917!

I don't know if you had a point or just wanted to share the information, but thanks?

What you said reminded me - did you (anyone) know that the European robin is currently, but possibly not for much longer, the unofficial bird of the UK? It was put to the public vote in...the 1960s, I believe.

Some guy decided we should vote again now.
