Guy is right Bumblebee bats (Craseonycteris thonglongyai) are the smallest mamals in the world. They are only between 2.9 and 3.3cm long and weigh between 1.7and 2grammes.
They are found in Thailand where they live in caves, in small crevices formed by stalactites. They feed at dusk when they are most active, on insects in or above bamboo and teak trees. They are another species under threat from deforestation by the teak logging industry.
