French bulldogs
Mine is probably wild boars. We need an antonym for “glow up.”

Fade down
I believe the kids these days say “chopped”
Guinea pig babies are pretty damn adorable, but so are adult guinea pigs. I don’t know how to calculate the difference in cuteness.
“They put the boy in with the girls, and this is the result.”
I’ll bring the answer to the opposite question: owls (particularly Megascops, Bubo and Athene genera) are much cuter as adults. The owlets lack the plumage that makes the owls more embodied.
I was planning on making a separate post tomorrow asking the opposite ;)
Sloth
Adult sloths are cute!
Humans
Only if they come with a parent who changes their diaper, and go home at night.
I find that most take a few years to stop being pretty gross, personally.
No, infant humans are cute. Babies are pretty gross and need constant cleaning to not be covered in all sorts of smelly, icky bodily fluids.
Parent here. Can confirm. Newborns are gross, babies are messy, but once they are past that they gradually get better. 5yo+ can be pretty awesome.
I found them more fun than work after 8 or 10.
ferrets.

In this theme: rats.
Rats are like baby ferrets, but less aggressive hehe
( i know ferrets are generally not aggressive but my experience with them is the opposite… )
This little cutie will grow up to be an adult Canada Goose.

When I was four or five I went to the zoo with school, when we were being told about Canadian Geese my teacher asked where they were from. Canadian Geese have come up one time too many today for me not to tell that story.
“Hell.”

Hippos.
I mean look at this cute little shit…

He’s going to grow up to be a 3-ton water-borne death machine.
Even the three ton ones are cute too.
That is a cute picture, but also this is a pygmy hippo, which are just cute hippos. It’s like saying “baby horses are the cutest animals!” And posting a baby pony as proof

Cats, obviously. Like yeah cats are cute, but kittens are the cutest thing in the world.
Anything except birds. The weird part is, even other great apes have cuter babies.
Somebody already beat me to gosling, but have another

And another. This is the same bird a month later.

Baby crocodiles

Alligators stay kinda cute looking. I took pictures of this guy at my work until management had him removed.

I grew up with a pet alligator, she got to around 5ft. Spent a good portion of her life sleeping under my bed and she’d walk herself to the tub when she wanted a swim. They’re cute as the dickens and she actually had an amazing temperment.
All except humans
Have you seen parrots and pigeons?
Or several kinds of rodent pups. Or marsupial joeys.
If it comes hair/featherless it’s probably not our jam. Which is ironic, considering we’re pretty hairless.
Proboscis monkey

Might as well be a first stage evolution Pokémon it looks so different.
preposterous creature as an adult wtf
