These wild animals in the outdoors are too cute to miss!

India is blessed with forests of all kinds, and they are home to around 92,037 species (flora, fauna, avifauna, insects, reptiles and amphibians). We can't visit all forests but what we can do is at least try and visit the national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, bird sanctuaries and other protected forests in India.

Animals, in their natural habitat, are at home. And when they are home, they are most relaxed. This has given wildlife and amateur photographers some of the cutest moments captured in the wildlife.

Here are some of the cute wildlife moments from the forests of India.

Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh is one of the premier national parks in India. As per reports, the national park is home to around 220 tigers. The little cub crouching right next to its mother's paws is one of them.

This one is from Bannerghatta National Park in Bengaluru, Karnataka. A small section of the national park is now a zoological garden known as Bannerghatta Biological Park. These two elephant calves are seen in a playful mood. Aren't they cute?

Here's a family of the endangered Asiatic lions at Sasan Gir National Park. Gir is the last natural habitat for these Asiatic lions. When at Gir National Park, it's common to see several lion prides such as this.

Indian wild elephants are currently facing the problems of habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict. Though they are widely spread across Indian forests, their numbers are quite less. When you get to see a family of tuskers in their natural habitat, one can't help but be in awe of them. Look at the little one.

The endangered Gee's Golden Langur from Western Assam is a rare find. Head over to Manas National Park in Assam if you want to see one.

Leopards are widely distributed in India, but since they are shy cats, it's not so easy to spot them in the wild. But that's not the case in leopard reserves in Jhalana and Jawai in Rajasthan. There, the leopard density is high and it's easy to spot them. This one's just chilling and giving cute poses for all.

Is this the cutest thing or what? Baby rhino following its mother's footsteps (literally) at Kaziranga National Park in Assam. This one will grow up to become one of Kaziranga's 2613 rhinos (approximately).

That's the mantra this adorable sloth bear cub seem to be following. Bear cubs are often seen enjoying piggy-back rides. This scene is from Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan.

It's important to note that when there are cubs around, mama bears are more aggressive. But jungle safaris, when done sensibly, are completely safe.

How often do you feel you're being watched when you are out and about in a natural setting? Most probably it's an owl keeping an eye on you! Here we have six spotted owlets trying to make eye contact with the photographer.

Yes, we'll go with that. Here's a stiped hyena caught in the middle of a yawn at Ranthambore National Park. These misunderstood beings can be cute too, and here's proof.
