It’s very common to spot a pregnant robin in the midst of winter. This is the time of year they bundle up, hunker down, and make their young. These barrel-chested birds are fuzzy, soft, and full of little ones. I’d be amiss to say they’re not cute. However, you can’t help but wonder how it feels to carry all that weight on those tiny little feet. They may be adorable, but they look a little uncomfortable in the bitter cold of winter. I guess the cuteness is nature’s compromise for their pregnancy!
The fact that cats have short gestation periods is probably the only saving grace for the sphynx cat. These critters are hairless cats. That means that when they get pregnant, their bellies swell up, and you can see everything. They’re cute as can be with their wrinkly little legs. But just look at this thing. It’s so bloated it looks like it can barely roll over. I’m not too sure that would be a fun pregnancy experience. But what I can say is that this girl sure is cute.
Did you really think you’d get through this list without seeing a rabbit full of baby rabbits? Rabbit pregnancy had to go on this list because they’re some of the cutest. Rabbits are already big old bags of fluff and ears. So, it makes sense that they puff up into even cuter balls when they’ve got babies inside them. Rabbits tend to get impregnated pretty often because of their mating habits, however. Therefore, the pregnancy process probably gets pretty tiring for them.
Simba may have been a cute baby lion cub in The Lion King, but pregnancy for lions isn’t like a cartoon. Of course, lion cubs are adorable. And of course, mama lions are cute, too. But their pregnancies are no walk in the park. On top of being pregnant, these mamas have to endure wild nature. That means constantly fighting off threats to their unborn babies. That sounds to me like a tough gestation period. But just look at this girl. Isn’t she adorable with that belly?
If you haven’t seen a pregnant seal, you’re missing out! If only to see their sheer size, you’ll want to take a gander. These mamas look so big, they’re probably hard-bent on finding a reason to get up from the ground. They’d probably rather just bask in the sun and keep their pups warm. They might even roll around. However, if you were thinking these cute mothers weren’t struggling, think again. Their size and weight over the course of pregnancy keep them somewhat immobile.
