Shitzhu adults are "a learned taste" but puppies are the cutest of all breeds.

Golden Retrievers are cute into adulthood. My neighbor's got one, he's a 90 pound smile.

preposterous creature as an adult wtf

Might as well be a first stage evolution Pokémon it looks so different.

Even the three ton ones are cute too.

From anime familiar, to miniboss

Seems to be a super old breed, like I couldn't even find a guess at when they were established.

But they were just the generic goat for a big area where both goats were important, and established trade routes allowed a high degree of genetic variation at first. But then the adults that were allowed to reproduce were always the ones who produced the most milk and meat.

Absolutely zero care about how an adult looked, zero aesthetics. If that weird ass adult look wasn't tied to something that makes more milk and cheese, it wouldn't be that weird.

However the breeders know all things being equal, customers would pay more for a goat that didn't look like ass.

So when choosing which to breed, you pick the most aesthic looking goats hoping for a higher price for the offspring. But with those weird ass adult dreams (almost certainly) increasing milk/meat yield, and everyone wanting to buy the milk goat that looks least hideous...

That split between infant and adult makes sense.

When I was four or five I went to the zoo with school, when we were being told about Canadian Geese my teacher asked where they were from. Canadian Geese have come up one time too many today for me not to tell that story.

I believe the kids these days say "chopped"

Nah, baby birds are gross looking.

Alligators stay kinda cute looking. I took pictures of this guy at my work until management had him removed.

For me kittens are like passing through the other side of cuteness. Cats are very cute, kittens are just too much.

You know in futurama when bender orders a statue of "ridiculous proportions" built, then when it's done he's like, "no, that's too big, try again and this time don't embarrass yourselves.'

That's how i feel about kittens. No, that's too cute. Try again and this time don't embarrass yourself.

Kittens are hugely cute. Cats are “stop pissing in that box you little fuck”.

And another. This is the same bird a month later.

Adult sloths are cute!

I was planning on making a separate post tomorrow asking the opposite ;)

I find that most take a few years to stop being pretty gross, personally.

No, infant humans are cute. Babies are pretty gross and need constant cleaning to not be covered in all sorts of smelly, icky bodily fluids.

Only if they come with a parent who changes their diaper, and go home at night.
