What is the smallest animal in the world?
The smallest animal in the world at the moment is a bumblebee bat.
The bumblebee bat is also known as Kitti's hog-nosed bat and is about 29-33mm in length and 2g in mass. They can live up to 5 to 10 years and they are an endangered bat.
They are found in Thailand and Southeast Burma and normally live in limestone caves along rivers.
They feed on different insects. They are called Bumblebee Bat because the size is similar to a bumblebee. They were first discovered by Thai biologist, Kitti Thonglongya in 1973.
