It’s understandable that some pets and other animals would be a little bit timid. After all, many people share the same trait as well. Not all of us are gregarious and outgoing. It’s perfectly normal.

In fact, when an animal is shy around people, it makes them even more adorable than usual. We can’t help but want to pick them up and give them a big hug to show them that they are loved. That’s what these 40 animals do to us.

Their shyness is so cute, we can’t resist them. From the cow that always hides behind the fence post when humans stop by to the dog that is afraid of having his picture taken, these introverted animals take being shy to another level. We absolutely love them for it.
