Fairy penguins, for those who haven't heard of them, come as little as
15cm tall.  I dimly recall Arthur C. Clarke once saying that they were the
cutest things imaginable until you unwisely try to pick one up, "at which
point it starts shrieking curses and systematically removing the flesh
from your hand with its needle-sharp beak".
