Did you know that the world's smallest mammal is the bumblebee bat? These tiny creatures are found in Thailand and Myanmar, and they are no bigger than a thumb!
Bumblebee bats weigh less than a penny and have a wingspan of only 6 centimeters. They are so small that they can easily fit in the palm of your hand.
Despite their tiny size, they are able to fly and hunt for insects just like larger bats.
Another interesting fact about bumblebee bats is that they live in large colonies, sometimes with more than 1000 individuals in a single cave.
But perhaps the most fascinating thing about bumblebee bats is their unique mating behavior. The females will only mate with males that have the largest roosts, or living spaces.
This means that the males have to compete with each other to build the largest roosts in order to attract a mate.
So there you have it, a fun fact about the world's smallest mammal, the bumblebee bat.
