Your favorite animal that can fit in the palm of your hand?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

(Note:feel free to use real or fictional animals, but please use your true palm size :smiley: )

After much thought, I’m going to go with a horny toad.

2

Chinchillas, but they can barely fit in the palm of my hand. A baby kitten would be close too.

I would have to say a baby fennec fox:

Followed very closely (ALMOST a tie!) by baby meerkats:

Or, on a more domestic note, how about my baby Papillon Bunny… she could indeed lay just like this in the palm of my hand when I first got her!

baby kitten, eyes just open…

6

Sugar Gliders

7

Pretty much any kind of butterfly. First runner-up would be a baby teacup poodle (even though I am on principle against breeding dogs down to hamster size).

8

Hedgehog.

You don’t have to pick a baby hedgehog, a full grown adult will still fit in your hand, and it will look like this.

9

I can’t possible choose one favorite. But the pygmy marmoset definitely has a chance in the competition. How could you not love a tiny monkey? How?

10

It will eventually mature, and fling tiny poo at you.

11

Males, please be careful in answering this. If you know what I mean.

12

I’ve never felt a hedgehog, I thought they had spines???

13

Pomeranian puppies! I could hold a litter of four in my cupped hands with no spill over. I will go through my photos tomorrow to find a photo. Two of my pommies fully grown weigh 3 1/2 lbs, compared to my cats who weigh upwards to 20 lbs.

14

You are no fun whatsoever! hahah. Yes I do know what you mean and agree its weird!

15

Squee warning!

Kitten.

17

Haha I actually watched that clip all the way to the end and with a big stupid grin on my face… and when it finished … I just felt , well kinda stupid!

Yap kitty is cute!

18

I can never pick just one favorite, so here is my Pantheon of the Palm:

  • nutibranchs
  • salamanders
  • lady bugs
  • moths
  • butterflies
  • dragonflies
  • humming birds
  • hermit crabs
  • kittens
  • hedge hogs
  • various Rodents of Usual Size
  • cone snails (though they fit in the palm of your hand, I would not ever recommend holding one there if you want to stay alive)
19

Snakes. I love snakes. They are just adorable to me.

Japanese Dwarf Flying Squirrel.

Some say they’re not a natural species; that the Japanese engineered them in a lab for maximum kawaiiness.

(Not really.)
