It’s a scientifically proven fact that looking at pictures of cute animals makes us happy.
Our brains are just hardwired to produce feel-good chemicals and impulses when we see adorable things like babies, whether they’re of the animal or human variety. Perhaps this is why there are so many cute images of animals on Reddit’s popular “Aww” page. Looking at these sweet faces and fuzzy bellies puts a smile on our faces, and sometimes that’s all we need to power through another day!
