<p>“Though any mention or image of ‘butts’ will reliably get a rise from young audiences, overall this is more about baby animals in general than a specific portion of their anatomy. With the possible exception of the opossum’s unlovely behind, more likely to elicit responses of ‘Cute!’ than ‘Gross!’”<br />

This may just look like a brown and round butt . . .
. . . but when this critter grows, you’ll need to look up.
Whose baby butt is this?
It’s a baby moose!
Moose have short tails that are hard to see. Baby moose are tiny enough to walk under their mother’s belly without ducking. Wow! When they grow up, their legs become more than twice as long as the legs of White-tailed Deer. Adult moose can step across fallen logs with their very long legs and wade across streams without getting their bellies wet.

The fur isn’t enough to stay totally warm on this butt . . .
. . . but the tail acts like a blanket that keeps this animal cozy when sleeping.
Whose baby butt is this?
It’s a baby fox!
The swift fox is one of the smallest foxes in the world. Mommy and Daddy weigh only four to five pounds—about half the size of a small dog. This makes the foxes super fast. Varoom! Swift foxes live in underground burrows. When the parents are out hunting, the pups chase each other and play with their leftovers from last night’s dinner.
