The Bumblebee bat of Thailand, also known as the Hog-nosed Bat, is famous for being the smallest mammal the he world. This bat species is on average 1.3 inches and weights only 2 grams! This species is vulnerable, and the population is restricted to roughly 40 limestone caves in Myanmar and Thailand. Over the last 25 years, the population has faced a steady decline. Mostly due to limestone mining, disturbance of its roost, and increased tourism. Let's hope that conservation plans are successful so we can ensure the survival of this amazing little creature.
