Which is the largest animal in animal kingdom?
The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth, and perhaps the largest ever to have existed, usually ranging between 70 and 90 feet in length (though there are records of some that have exceeded the 100-foot mark).

Mycoplasma genitalium. Mycoplasma genitalium, a parasitic bacterium which lives in the primate bladder, waste disposal organs, genital, and respiratory tracts, is thought to be the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction. With a size of approximately 200 to 300 nm, M.
What is the smallest living animal?
Etruscan shrew
Also known as the white-toothed pygmy shrew or Suncus etruscus, the Etruscan shrew is the smallest mammal by weight alive today. At 36–52mm long, excluding tail, it's larger than Kitti's hog-nosed bat. However, individuals can weigh as little as 1.5g, meaning the Etruscan shrew takes the crown.
Which animal dies after drinking water?

Is ant the smallest animal?
It is the ant—the commonest, the smallest but the wisest insect. The story of an ant's life sounds almost untrue. But people have kept ants as pets, and have watched their daily behaviour closely. So we know a number of facts about this tiny, hard-working and intelligent creature.
What is a tun Tardigrade?
The most remarkable feature of the tardigrades is their ability to withstand extremely low temperatures and desiccation (extreme drying). Under unfavourable conditions, they go into a state of suspended animation called the “tun” state—in which the body dries out and appears as a lifeless ball (or tun).
What is the smallest predator?
Here thrives, as we now know, the tiniest imaginable unicellular eukaryotic predator, Braarudosphaera bigelowii (frontpage, Figure 1). In science lingo, one could call it the 'antapex predator'*) if that wouldn't sound downright bonkers. But see yourself...
Is a bumblebee bat smaller than a shrew?
Thai zoologist Kitti Thonglongya discovered the bumblebee bat in 1973. ... These tiny bats, while shorter than the Etruscan shrew, generally weigh a little more than two grams. Bumblebee bats tend to live in groups of 100 or more in the limestone caves of Thailand. They've also been found in Myanmar.
Is the bumblebee bat the smallest mammal?
Kitti's hog-nosed bat (Craseonycteris thonglongyai) is debatably the world's smallest mammal and most definitely the world's smallest bat. Informally known as the bumblebee bat, Kitti's hog-nosed bat is about the size of a large bumblebee, weighing in at just two grams — about the weight of two Skittles.
