20 Cute Animals That Are So Tiny They Could Cuddle in the Palm of Your Hand
It’s not often that we see animals that are so small they can make themselves comfortable on our palms, but when it happens it’s a very enjoyable experience. A baby owlet that has just taken shower and is now cuddling in a blanket, a duckling that falls asleep in your hands, or a newborn mouse that’s so small you can only feed it with a paintbrush.
