These adorable animals are winning Twitter's #CuteOff

The internet isn't exactly shy when it comes to making lots of noise about cute, adorable critters looking...well, cute and adorable.

Now Twitter has got in on the action with its #CuteOff, in which people have been sharing images of some of nature's most loveable creations (following the recent, if slightly less appealing, animal #JunkOff).

People have been enthusiastically sharing their photos of a cornucopia of creatures, all of which have seemingly evolved to make us go all gooey-eyed and sentimental. From infant langurs to a Pacific leaping blenny (a bizarre-looking fish that lives on land), prepare for an overload of adorableness.

Here are some of WIRED.co.uk's top contenders for the #CuteOff crown.
