The world’s tiniest mammal is Kitti’s hog-nosed bat, also known as the bumblebee bat, weighing less than 2 grams. This little animal would barely take up any space in your hand. While insects come tiny, it’s the smaller than usual animals that tend to make us gush. They may be small, but they come with such winsome looks, it’s enough to melt the coldest freeze.
Bright Side came across these itty-bitty creatures with hearts full of love and couldn’t resist sharing them with you to dispel any gloominess.
