    Caution: What you're about to click through may cause uncontrollable squealing and unusual heart-melting due to an avalanche of cute baby animals. Check out this week's most aww-inducing newborns and critter kids from across the globe. 

    BABY WALLABY BOTTLE TIME

    Trinka, a newborn Parma wallaby at the San Diego Zoo, pops his head out for one of four feeding times he'll have during the day. We would've studied zoology in college had we known this was a possible career choice!

    BASKET O' SLEEPING SQUIRRELS 

    Four five-week-old squirrel kittens (that's what they call 'em!) snuggle safely inside their basket at Sanctuary Wildlife after being tossed from their nest during Hurricane Katia in Great Britain. After such a stressful situation, it's nice to see them sweetly dreaming.

    MONKEY MISCHIEF 

    Two baby monkeys playfully pester each other up a tree trunk at England's Port Lympne Wild Animal Park. We don't support violence, but we can't help but cheer this fight on.

    SPOTTED SMOOCHES 

    Thabo gets a big wet one from his mama giraffe at the zoo of Hanover in northern Germany. We bet all of Thabo's friends made fun of him for the rest of the week after seeing this embarrassingly cute display of affection.
