Adorable Or Ugly? Controversial Pets And Wild Animals (PHOTOS)

Occasionally we here at Huffington Post will post a video or photos of what we think is a cute little animal, and the comments will erupt into a debate. Comparisons to Yoda, mild fear and revulsion, questions about where on earth it came from; it seems animals can provoke some strong reactions. So we decided to just put it all to a vote.

Here's a long list of animals that could go either way. Are they adorable? Or do you wish you had never seen them?

I think most of them are cute and others, like the Komondor and the Moose, are magnificent.

Leave the animals be. Once we start messing with a species, people force artificial selection on these poor creatures and we end up, for example, with breeds of dogs that are disease prone. The funny thing that for all our efforts to create dogs that you can stick in a purse, if all dogs were abandoned the species in time would revert to wolves.

The "Mr. Bigglesworth" cat is freaky. "Its frigging freezing in here, Mr. Bigglesworth".

Why are the animals "controversial"?

I think that the Komondor dog must actually be from Jamaica. Clearly a Rastafarian, mon!

I like them all but the naked mole rat *is* slightly nightmarish.
