Animals of all sizes deserve all of the love, but there’s one corner of the Internet that’s dedicated solely to tiny units.

Contrary to an “absolute unit,” someone or something that is a “tiny unit” is just that – incredibly tiny. And in March 2019, the subreddit r/TinyUnits was created as a space for these tiny creatures, both real and not, to be appreciated. This friendly little community has countless posts, so we’ve compiled some of the most adorable images shared in the group for you to enjoy below!

1. The tiniest of toe-beans!

2. Adult hippos may be large, but this precious baby hippo is 100% a tiny unit.

3. These two cuties seem quite fawn’d of each other!
