cwilcox | February 2, 2009OK, keeping with the wildlife theme: I recently found a photoset on Flickr called Tiny Things On Fingers.
So yeah, here's a nice little subset.
Baby Sugar Glider. Look at the paws on that guy! He's got hulk hands.
I don't care what you say. Even baby insects, like this mantis here, are cute.
Nothing cuter than a baby pygmy anything, like this baby pygmy marmoset.
A baby octopus to make the hearts of the mollusk-lovin' boys at Other 95% and the cephalopod-obsessed PZ Myers skip a beat.
