Most animals, particularly those that live in the wild, are quite comfortable living by themselves. They are perfectly fine with just being around animals of their kind.
On the other hand, there are animals that look for more affection. These animals are the ones that are likely to be unexpected visitors to people’s properties. They show up unannounced and leave as soon as they’re able to give their greetings.
From squirrels dropping by to cool off to raccoons looking for temporary shelter, the photos below show the cutest animals giving their humans their warmest greetings.
