The Su Ami Etsy shop features incredibly tiny amigurumi animals. Most of the miniature plush creatures measure at less than an inch in height. The intricate detail and embellishment that goes into each animal is amazing. It is even more astonishing to see that some animals can be posed with moveable joints.
The tiny animals are crafted by a Vietnamese family, inspired by their youngest daughter. Each animal comes with a display box matched to the animal's natural habitat. Because of their micro size, Su Ami designs their miniatures for adult collectors. Don't be fooled by the small size though, the price of the miniature zoo animals isn't cheap. At a size of just a half-inch high, the red panda retails for about $120.
