Wow, how does that happen anyway?

Don't touch anything.

Some of these pip squeaks can compete with the most formidable hunters out there.

The smallest elephant is the Borneo pygmy there, about seven feet tall, which doesn't sound teeny.

But remember, African elephants could get almost twice that at 13 feet.

An interesting fact.

The pygmy elephants tail can get so long that it drags on the ground as they walk.

Not a teeny tail.

Another diminutive member among this planet's giants, the dwarf sperm whale could easily be mistaken for a dolphin.

It usually grows about seven feet long.

Compare that to the world's largest whale, an animal overall.

The blue whale.

It's over 10 times longer.

Cuvee is dwarf.

Caiman is the puny ISS member of the crocodilians.

When full grown, they get on Lee about four feet long, four times smaller than the salt water or American crack.

But this anybody buddy is no pet.

He's a ferocious carnivore that hunts and is rarely hunted among human species.

It'll be Homo Florence IUs.

Adults grew no longer than the average four year old boy today, 3.5 feet, and there hobbit like skulls were only about as big as a grapefruit.

The rusty spotted cat is here to represent the world's little is, well, cat species.

It's about 15 inches long and weighs a measly £3.

That's way smaller than most house cats.

And yes, people do domesticate these playful many kitties, though they are wild and probably prefer their natural habitat.

Then you've got the dwarf lantern sharp, coming in at eight inches in length, which is slightly longer than a pencil.

It looks like a baby, but this creature is full grown.

But the coolest thing is that it feeds on krill and can emit light.

The most petite house cat on record was a Himalayan Persian.

His name was Tinkertoy, and he was only seven inches long.

This'll full grown miniature kitty could easily fit in your palm.

The little is can't breed.

Overall is the single Hurreh.

A brown chihuahua named Millie from Puerto Rico is the world's smallest dog.

According to the Guinness Records.

She's just under four inches tall, about the height of a soda can Joel's air also the runs among all dog breeds In general, the dinky ist dinosaur was a five inch long, birdlike creature found in a pebble sized piece of amber.

It looks a lot like a hummingbird Onley.

Its beak is lined with sharp teeth.

This creature eats twice its weight in food every day, yet a tree could be about the same size.

There's an unusual forest along the coast of the North Atlantic because of the strong Arctic winds.

All the vegetation grows tini tiny here to protect itself from the bitter cold.

Dinky ist reptile in the world is the broke Asia micro chameleon from Madagascar.

It's about one inch in size, and it's got plenty of room sitting on the head of a match stick.

The little ist octopus in the world is the octopus Wolfie.

It's so anybody that you could easily miss it, sitting right there on the tip of your finger.

It's 1/3 of a millimeter long because inches just won't cut it at this point.

And that's the width of just four pieces of paper stack.

However, there's a unique small creature that could probably withstand any jellyfish, scorpion or spider venom.

I'm talking about tar, degrades or water bears.

Thes microscopic invertebrates.

Half a millimeter in size are the most resilient creatures on the planet.

Fairy wasps are the world's mind nudist insects measuring just 0.14 millimeters There.

As long as a sheet of paper is thick, you could line up almost 100 of them on the width of your pinky finger.

Now entering the microscopic world.

These tiny things are everywhere in the atmosphere, the depths of the ocean in glaciers and, of course, on an in our body bacteria.

Just one well washed apple contains more than 100 million microbes.

If you could squish them together, they'd be the size of a grain of sugar.

In the human body, there are tens of trillions of bacteria, or about £3 worth.

Don't worry, they're supposed to be there.

And even among teeny tiny bacteria, there are ones considered smaller than normal, so microscopic.

It's like it doesn't exist.

It all 150,000 of these bacteria will fit on the tip of a human hair.

I.

It's called the Nano.

This thing is so small that scientists still debate whether to consider it a living organism.

The nano is only 20 nana meters and sides.

You need to divide one inch in tow.

About 40 billion parts to get one nanometer.

All bacteria are microscopic single celled organisms, but there is one type you can hold in your hand and clearly see it's no bacteria, but it is single celled bubble algae, also known as sailors.

Eyeballs.

Yuck!

This little green ball of algae is a little smaller than a baseball.

It's difficult to study these organisms because they're so fragile.

But we do know that they help process water in the ocean and produce useful nutrients.

So was that small enough for you?

Well, good.
