Apparently, the battle began when the Smithsonian National Zoo tweeted a photo of their newborn grey seal pup.

Well then! It. Is. On.

The Smithsonian National Zoo thought they could end it with this shot of a baby orangutan.

 

You can see how this quickly became the sweetest tweet-off the internet has ever come across! Even Canadian zoos and aquariums joined the fun! 

Our favourite local otter, Rialto, stepped up for the occasion:

This is the perfect example of how the internet can be a fantastic place. A simple tweet opened the floodgates to cute city! 

Can’t get enough? We don’t blame you! Take to Twitter and search #CuteAnimalTweetOff and scroll until your heart’s content!
