Did you know that the
bumblebee bat is the
world’s smallest
mammal?
Weighing in at 0.05 to
0.07 ounces, with a
head-to-body length of
1.14 to 1.29 inches and
a wingspan of 5.1 to 5.7
inches, the bumblebee
bat—also known as
Kitti’s hog-nosed bat—is
the smallest mammal in
the world, according to
the Guinness Book of
World Records.
To see this tiny bat for
yourself, you’d have to
visit one of a select
few limestone caves on
the Khwae Noi River in
Kanchanaburi Province of
southwest Thailand.
