I know they are wild animals, but I want to pet one so bad. Why are wild things so cute?

Huh, that's interesting! It also explains why I get similar feelings when I see adults learning how to ski, for example. Their uncertain body language and clumsiness makes me want to help them, it's endearing. Toddlers and baby animals have a similar body language when learning new things (or moving in general).
Empathy signals! :)
