Smallest






Some  very  tiny  animals  smallest  in  their  group  are  really   amazing  .Some  of  these  animals  are  -

  • SMALLEST    FROG    

Paedophryne amauensis   New Guinea species are, on average, around 7.7 millimeters (0.3 inch) long. They are the smallest known vertebrates.





  •  SMALLEST   BIRD.
Bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae)

Six centimeters (2.4 inches) at its largest, this species is the tiniest bird in the world. It is found only in Cuba.





  •  SMALLEST   FISH.
 Paedocypris progenetica
 The Sumatran fish usually reach only around 10 millimeters (0.4 inch) at maturity. One female was less than 8 millimeters (0.3 inch). They don’t even have room for a whole skull in their tiny bodies…parts of the brain are not covered by bone.



  •  SMALLEST    SHARK.
 Dwarf lantern shark (Etmopterus perryi
  At around 20 centimeters (8 inches), this guy is the littlest of the sharks. The species also emits light as a form of camouflage from predators lurking below. The light helps break up the animal’s silhouette so that it blends in with the light coming from above.



  • Smallest snake


  Barbados threadsnake (Leptotyphlops carlae)
 At 10.4 centimeters (4.1 inches), this is the smallest snake. It burrows in search of insects and other small invertebrates.





  • Smallest cetacean

 Vaquita (Phocoena sinus)
The smallest of the cetaceans, the group that contains whales and dolphins, this endangered porpoise, which frequents the Gulf of California, maxes out at around 1.5 meters (4.9 feet).






  • Smallest mammal

 Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus)
  At less than 3 grams (0.11 ounce), this tiny shrew is the smallest mammal. Its exquisitely tuned reflexes, aided by muscles composed entirely of fast-twitch fibers, assist it in capturing insects.
