Platipus - they start as boring eggs
Fuckin humans. Little alien potatoe mutant lookin infants geoss me the fuck out.
Pretty much all birds.

Yeah. Came here to say most rodents would fit this bill though even the adults aren't for all tastes. Mice, etc. are much cuter when they have fur.
Newborn cats aren't all that great looking.
The aye-aye is weird-looking enough as an adult, but it looks like a Jim Henson creation as a baby.


Definitely humans. I mean, look at newborn babies. They are little wrinkly screaming poopgoblins.
You could describe the elderly in the same way.
Touché. I guess you're right.
Ladybug. The baby is a demon spawn made to eliminate aphid. It's good but not cute, it's metal.
Similarly, antlions. The adult just looks like a weird dragonfly while the larva is an alien-looking burrowing ambush predator with spikes and giant mandibles.
Butterflies
Pretty much every bird
Except the birds with precocious chicks. They're pretty much all cute. For example, the baby killdeer is adorable. baby chicks and baby ducks are pretty cute too.
Stellars Jays spring to mind. One of the most beautifully punk-rock looking birds and worryingly intellegent, but my god their young look like nothing more than cancerous scrotums.
Barn Owls all day long
Pandas and kangaroos come to mind immediately. Probably every marsupial would make the cut here too.
