The gallery of cute, small animals that can fit in the palm of your hand was designed with one purpose in mind: to bring joy and make people feel good. That’s what we do here—spread positivity and happiness.

But what exactly qualifies as a small animal? It could be:

• A baby animal
• A fully grown animal that is naturally tiny
• A regular-sized animal that looks tiny when compared to a much larger one, like a cat next to an elephant

This gallery is probably the cutest thing you’ll see all day. While some animals are naturally adorable, their cuteness skyrockets when they’re tiny enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Even creatures like bats and skunks—which may not come to mind when you think of cute animals—look irresistibly adorable when they’re small enough to hold.
