The world's smallest mammal is the bumblebee bat, also known as Kitti's hog-nosed bat.

-The Kitti’s Hog Nosed Bat is the smallest mammal in the world by length.
-They are sometimes referred to as bumblebee bats due to their tiny size.
-This tiny bat is native to Thailand and Burma, where it lives in limestone caves along rivers.
-A colony of these bats can very widely, ranging from 10 to 500 individuals.
-Very little is known about the population of these tiny mammals in Burma, but in Thailand they are thought to be at risk of extinction.
-They are threatened by disturbance and habitat loss from limestone extraction.
-These bats are crepuscular – which means they are active at dawn and dusk.
-Like other bats, Kitti’s Hog-Nosed bats use echolocation to navigate during flight.
