Fingers. Tiny Animals. 'Nuff said.

Tiny animals look especially tiny when perched on fingers. From mefi's own specklet.

That's cool. I wish they had little dogs that size.

I wish they had little humans that size.

ALL the cuter. Maximum cuteness. Whatever cuteness was left over in the world has been concentrated here. Sanrio is out of business. Anyone who doesn't love this should be shot.

What species are the little monkeys?

I had no idea primates came so small.

As a human, my reaction to this gives me hope for the rest of you. I feel warm and cuddly now. Thx.
Bet they cook quick.

The horny toad on the double-jointed thumb looks really pissed off.

She belongs to MetaChat now, and no, you can't have her back.

Thanks guys! MrMoonPie, I'm gonna go put that in the set right now!

I bet you could find pictures of little animals perched on penises if you looked hard enough. Maybe even perch perched on penises. But just in case anyone does, I'm abandoning this thread as soon as I click Post Comment.

Mantids are always striking subjects too.

These made me giggle. Tiny monkeys rule!

Thanks for the frog and the mantis! I'll add those too.

This woolly bear looks scarily like a relative of the puss caterpillar.

Interesting the linguistic impact: "beensiest chameleon", "Redonkulously cute", "diddle nosies" and "viskaars".

I always wanted to see what a barnacle looked like, hold a hummingbird chick and a tiny frog.

wtf these aminals are OBBVIOSULY photoshopped onto the fingers.

I'm not sure how to suggest a photo for the set, so here's my contribution.

nickyskye, sorry, that barnacle is actually a limpet. I just re-labeled it...

Milkman Dan, they are not photoshopped; many of these were taken by people I know. Also, do some gooling on marmosets and tamarins for those tiny monkeys.

Dr-Baa, what is that? Is that a frog? Cute!

Yeah, it's a frog. My girlfriend and I were out hiking a couple of years ago and came across it. We saw a larger frog first, and then a couple of feet away saw the small one. I had time to snap one or two pics before it took off.
