These are the 5 smallest animals in the world. For most animal lovers, the cuteness factor of any animal increases the smaller that animal gets. Whether were snuggling with kittens or puppies, part of us just dont want them to get any bigger. After all, theyll lose some of their adorable looks! Thankfully, Nature provided us many animals that will never outgrow their cute phase!
Pygmy Marmoset
The pygmy marmoset is the smallest monkey in the world, and may just make your heart explode! Found in the Amazon Basin of South America, this tiny monkey spends most of its time hanging around on trees, gnawing away at tree bark. Even as an adult, the pygmy marmoset will grow to around 6 inches long, and weighs in at a tiny 100 grams. Thats small enough to fit in the palm of your hand! The good news? Some exotic dealers sell pet marmosets! Go get yours today!
Bee Hummingbird
The bee hummingbird didnt get its name for no good reason! This tiny bird is literally the size of bee! At around 2 inches in length and with a tiny weight of 2 grams, these miniscule birds are not just cute as a button, theyre as small as a button as well. Theyre also the smallest birds in the world, giving them the distinct honor of perhaps being the cutest birds around! Finding one as a pet is almost impossible, so if you want to see one, you may want to book a trip to Cuba. Thats the only place youll find them! If you can find them, of course.
Dwarf Gecko
Most geckos are already pretty tiny, but the Cape dwarf gecko beats them all! This adorable little lizard is about the size of a human fingernail. As cute as it is, however, dwarf geckos do have a nasty little habit: they sometimes eat their own skin! Although youd have to buy a magnifying glass and a plane ticket to Africa if you want to see them in the wild, you may just find an exotic pet dealer that sells them! Just make sure you buy a tiny leash with it!
Brookesia Micra Chameleon
You may have a hard time finding the Brookesia micra. This tiny lizard can not only change colors to blend in with its environment, but its also so small that it can fit on the head of a match! At just 40mm long, its one of the absolute smallest animals in the entire world. Its a surprise that scientists were even able to find it in its native Madagascar! These animals are not at all available as pets, so you might have to cough up some money for a plane ride if you want to see one in person.
Royal Antelope
Move aside, Bambi! The royal antelope is the smallest antelope in the world. At only 10 inches long and weighing a mere 6 pounds, this tiny deer relative is smaller than most cats! If youre hoping to grab one of your own, youll have a hard time finding one. Theyre illegal to own in almost every state. You might see one or two in a zoo, but thats the best youre going to get. Too bad. Theyd certainly make the cutest pets!
