Cats, dogs, bears, owls, weasels. Most of them could seriously injure/kill an average human with minor difficulty and yet we find them adorable?

Does not compute.

bears... are cute? ๐Ÿคจ

Also, I'm pretty sure my cat cannot eat me.

I always remind my cat "btw, I'm bigger than you, you can't eat me you know" just in case she gets hungry.

That's cute and all, but it's a far different thing to see one up close and personal, and trailing a couple of cubs. Like I did last week.

Scary! But a baby bear is cute. Because of mammal instincts to take care of baby

From behind a lens? Adorable and majestic, frankly!

My 170lbs dog could eat me if he decided to. He would get less cuddles then so he has high incentive not to

Oh my God I once saw a black bear get stressed out after wandering into the neighborhood. Truly had no idea what to do about all the people other than climb and try to hide in a tree that it then got stuck in.

Eventually it was tranqued and they caught it fireman style with a tarp held underneath it as it slipped out of the tree.

I'd probably have a less cute story if it was a Polar, Grizzly or Kodiak bear though.

Lions and Tigers are cats.
