If there is one thing that all animal lovers have in common is that we love - looove - itty bitty tiny animals. Animals in their mini version are just extra cute somehow. We love tiny puppies, kittens, we love baby wild cats, baby foxes, tiny bears and wolves. But, there is one tiny animal that we rarely put on that list of awwdorable tiny animals - and that's the gecko.
Geckos are gorgeous. Geckos are adorable. Geckos can be such drama queens. What's there not to love about tiny geckos? Nothing. And when we saw a tiny newly hatched mourning gecko go viral online, it was only right for us to jump on the bandwagon and add some more appreciation and love to the party.
Honestly, how are these little guys not higher up the list of widely accepted awwdorable animals? Look at how tiny she is, look at how she isn't even the size of one knuckle. To think that everything that she needs to live fits in that teeny weeny body is not only adorable but actually heckin' amazing.
Why is it that it took us a whole second look to see the momma in this picture at all? No, really, nature is absolutely amazing sometimes. The camaflauge in this picture is one of the best we have seen in forever. People really don't appreciate geckos nearly enough, they are just so cool.
