Beautiful animal ! I'm very sad that it is endangered, hopefully the species will live for many years to come.

Is there also a non-adorable version?

Ewok and chinchilla*

either way the adorableness is off the charts and that's fine by me

Is it so rare because they get snuggled to death by the helpless humans who encounter them?

Looking at it, I'm guessing it's because people want those tails as decorations.

Depends on the property rights of the terrain they inhabit. If land is privately owned, demand for fur would cultivate & save the species1/2

13 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

bc private land owners have vested economic interest in sustaining long term value. If publicly owned, poaching would be a serious prblm 2/2

I wouldn't want to hug that, I would rather keep my face!

Hmmm... Maybe its adorableness is actually a hunting strategy? I bet a human could feed a family of these for weeks.

Everyone makes choices I guess.

I mean I would hug it if someone put oven mitts on all of its paws first.

That would increase it's adorableness quotient by 1000.456231 %.
