This Cute Animal Twitter Battle Will Make Your Day
We’re all in need of some good news right now, so here it is: Zoos across the country are facing off in what might be the best Twitter battle of all time: Who has the cutest animals? It’s called the cuteanimaltweetoff and it’s totally amazing, trust us. Suddenly, there’s a flood of adorable animal photos flooding the Internet–think koalas, otters, monkeys, and more.
Too good to be true? Nope, we are not kidding. If you love baby animals of all sorts, scroll to see some of the best photos shared in this epic battle–which, quite frankly, is just what the world needs right now.
The battle started after Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington D.C. announced the birth of a gray seal pup with a photo of the newborn, Mashable reported.
We welcomed a gray seal pup Jan. 21. The pup appears to be nursing, moving & bonding well w/ mom. https://t.co/l0Bzu7g8ek #Squee pic.twitter.com/nEhuJe6vBk

Twitter user and Virginia resident Sarah Hill saw the post and issued a challenge to her local aquarium, which responded:
