More minaturized mammals...

...pygmy marmosets. These newborns look like tiny little Chewbaccas. Who would have thought marmosets could make wookie?

Pixie piglets populate pumpkin

These little porkers were just too cute not to feature again for Halloween.


On the other hand, this plethora of pork are for those with an appetite for larger sausage links. They would need to inhabit pumpkins like this. No pumpkin, however, will hold these nightmare inducing hellish hogs.

Pint size porkers

First there were these, and now CrackedPot has discovered yet another miniaturized critter...Teacup Pigs. A friend told me that Good Morning America featured a segment about them. What is it with morning shows and miniaturized mammals?

Teacup Pigs apparently grow up to be roughly the size of a Cocker Spaniel. More bacon bits here and here (scroll down a tad).

Teacup Chihuahua?

CrackedPot caught a few minutes of some morning show which featured a scrap of fur billed as the world's smallest dog. It stood four inches tall and its weight was measured in ounces. That's not a dog, that's a yapping hamster! What is a minuscule pooch like that good for, other than inhabiting the crockery in the china cabinet? It's not like you could play ball or frisbee with it. And must it live out it's life in a cage, forever treading the tubes of a Habitrail for fear of this happening?
