20 Miniscule Animals Who Can Steal Our Heart and Live In Our Pocket

Tininess has an irresistible charm to it that leaves no one indifferent. Especially when we’re talking about minuscule animals that fit in our palm and stare at us with their barely-there eyes. Perhaps the reason we get so attached to them is because we know these creatures can’t survive without our protection. Or because we are aware that they will soon get so much bigger and that we need to savor these fleeting moments of cuteness before it’s too late.

At Now I’ve Seen Everything, we have an extra weakness for pocket-sized animals. These 20 babies are super small but will have an incredibly big effect on the heart.
