Gaitlyn Rae is a nine-year-old black-cap capuchin monkey. After winning over audiences with her love for slime, Gaitlyn receives influxes of fan mail daily. With a whopping 7.8 million followers on TikTok, Gaitlyn knows how to keep the fans coming back for more. She enjoys fidget toys, lettuce, and grooming her family by picking through their hair. Gaitlyn is a very independent monkey! When instructed to grab a cup from the cabinet, she knows exactly where to go, and when her family is cooking dinner, she helps out by snapping the ends off green beans and opening crab shells with a mallet.

Rose and Winston are two teeny tiny Leucistic sugar gliders who have conjured up 171.3K followers on TikTok and rapidly climbing. Rose and Winston can be recognized by their triangular faces, tiny tongues, and huge eyes. These sugar gliders have a lot of energy and can be found jumping incredible distances in the air. While leaping, their winged arms open, allowing them to fly like hang gliders. While outdoors, they can be easy to miss on account of their size in comparison to grass but look closely, and you may see a hopping Rose and/or Winston perhaps wearing an itty-bitty hat!
Grab your magnifying glasses and head to their pages on TikTok and Instagram. For business inquires, Rose and Winston can be reached at roseandwinstonofficial@gmail.com

The chinpals are a ragtag group of Chinchillas, self-proclaimed “The Chinfluencers.” This elite squad follows pet Chinchillas Chip, Henry, Knox, and Linus- an audience favorite. The chins mother knows precisely how to entertain their 3.1 million followers; as chinfluencers, the chinpals keep up with the latest TikTok trends, using their little hands and booties to dance and hold up signs to communicate with humans. The chinpals love treats of cheerios and oats, taking dust baths, and conducting with chopsticks, all while occasionally wearing little outfits, of course. Their owner recently directed a Titanic spoof on TikTok entitled “The Titanic in Under a minute.” The caliber of costume and set design deserve Oscars, as well as the fluffy little actors.
