In nature, all kinds of creatures large and small are overwhelmed, giving this beautiful planet the most vibrant life, and human beings have never stopped exploring nature. However, in nature, there are some animals that people like very much, and today, I will take stock of the 10 most miniature animals in the world.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 10th species: The Koch canine antelope</h1>
The body length of the antelope is 52 to 67 cm, the tail length is 3 to 6 cm, and the shoulder height is 30 to 40 cm. Males have horns, females don't. They are less daring. Their biggest feature is that they have a long mouth and nose. The hairs on his back are yellowish-gray or reddish-brown, and his abdomen is off-white. Because of the thick fur covering the head, the horns of the Koch's canine are hidden and difficult to detect. But their tails and hooves are easy to spot. It is found in north-central Tanzania, south-central Kenya, southern Somalia, southwestern Angola and Namibia.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 9th species: pygmy horses</h1>
There is such a dwarf small horse in Australia, it is only 1 year old, only 59 cm tall when standing, and he is only slightly larger than a cat. The pygmy horse, known as "Thumbelina," stopped growing after the age of 1, after which his owner learned to have a world record horse. It was diagnosed with dwarfism shortly after birth because it was different from other horses, and after undergoing surgery, the dwarf horse was able to live a normal life. And it's so small, so some people often play with him as a toy. At present, it has honored the title of "the world's smallest horse", and the little friends do not want to raise a ah, what a cute little guy.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 8th type: mini chameleon</h1>
Scientists went to Madagascar in 2007 to accidentally discover this creature because of its small size and is called "mini chameleon", which is the smallest of all known chameleons. It is a chameleon in the genus Chameleon, which is also known as a miniature version of the chameleon. It is about the size of a matchstick, and the longest adult is only 2.6 centimeters. Scientists believe that this small chameleon that appears on the island is an extreme case of dwarfism of the species here in the environment. This evolution is more obvious as a result of the species here changing their own body mechanisms in order to adapt to the environment, and thus better adapt to this environment.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the 7th species: stout miniature fish</h1>
A photograph of Stott's miniature fish was published at the Australian Museum in Sydney. The discovery of this species was made by an Australian scientist who was subsequently dubbed "the smallest fish in the world". Although this fish is the smallest fish in the world, people have also given it a funny name, called "fat baby fish". Scientists have not classified the tiny fish until now after discovering it in 1979, and scientists have registered the fish as a new species and declared the Guinness Book of Records smallest vertebrate for it.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the sixth species: the Ama-umah frog</h1>
The average body length of each Amałodon frog is only 7.7 mm, which is 0.2 mm smaller than the shortest adult record holder of the world's smallest vertebrate carp, a carp family native to Sumatra, Indonesia. The back is dark brown , the surface of the body is irregularly tan or rusty brown , and the abdomen and sides are dark brown to slate grey with irregular blue-white spots. There are only 7 vertebrae, which is less than most subfamily star frog species. The fingers and toes are degenerated, respectively. The overall proportion of the whole body, the eyes are larger, and the snout is wider and shorter. Unlike other frogs, Ama utong frogs do not need to experience the tadpole form of other frogs. They are fully mature as soon as they are born. He can jump up to thirty times his body length. It is usually found at dusk and feeds on small invertebrates. Male frogs make sharp calls of up to 8400–9400 hertz to attract the opposite sex to mate.
It is speculated that female frogs can only lay 1 to 2 eggs at a time, and the number of eggs laid per year has not been confirmed. It is a species of frog that grows in Papua New Guinea. It is difficult for researchers to find this frog, because it has a hidden protective color and extremely small size, and the high-frequency song is like the sound of insects, but some people still record the sound of the Amawu child frog at night in the rainforest.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the fifth species: bumblebee bats</h1>
Bumblebee bat is a bumblebee bat in Thailand, their largest body length is 1 inch, weighing only 2g, this small mammal spreads its wings only 8 centimeters, can be said to be the smallest mammal known now, he belongs to the insectivorous bat, to catch small insects flying in the air for food. Bumblebee bats are also called pig-nosed bats in Thailand and are not much larger than hummingbirds. They can hover in the air like hummingbirds and inhabit burrows like all bats.
The bat, which was only discovered in 1974 and mostly inhabits the walls of some limestone caves in Thailand, was later identified as one of the 12 most endangered species in the world, with more than 200 bumblebee bats currently known. Its body is black or brown, has a pair of large ears, their nose is the most characteristic, the nose is upward, similar to the pig nose, so it is named pig-nosed bat.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the fourth species: finger monkeys</h1>
Finger monkeys are named because of the length of their fingers and toes (the length of their middle fingers). The body is like a mouse, the body length is about 36-44 cm, the tail length is about 50-60 cm, and the weight is 2 kg; the body hair is thick and long, dark brown to black; the tail is longer than the body, and it is relatively fluffy, looking like a broom, the hair of the monkey is up to 10 cm long, black or gray; the head is large and flat, looks like a fox, the mouth and nose are relatively prominent, the ears are large, the membrane is large; the other fingers and toes have pointed claws except for the flat nails and big toes; the teeth are structured like rats, only 20; the limbs are shorter. The legs are longer than the arms.
They inhabit large branches or trunks of tropical rainforests, and nesters build spherical nests in tree holes or branches. Live alone or in pairs, with frequent nocturnal activities. Loved eating insects. When they want to eat, they will tap the bark with their middle fingers to determine whether there are bugs inside, and if they have, they will use their teeth to chew out a small hole and use their middle fingers to cut out the bugs inside. Because of their mournful, crying, locals believe that they are not good at bringing, killing them if they see them, and the destruction of their habitats has made this population extremely rare and once considered extinct. There are now also partially living in the forests of the eastern coast of Madagascar.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the third species: the hook blind snake</h1>
The hook-blind snake, also known as the ear snake, is a non-venomous snake in the family Ceratophyllaceae, mainly in Africa and Asia, but now it has spread all over the world. Hook-blind snakes are small and long, with an average body length of only between 6 and 17 cm. It is a snake species that inhabits the ground hole, because of its small size and good at digging holes, it is mistaken for an earthworm, the only thing that can be distinguished is that the body of the hook blind snake does not have obvious segments like earthworms.
The head and tail are almost identical, and the eyes degenerate into two small dots. The head has fine scales the same size as the scales on the body, while the tail has a very small pointed scale at the end. Adult hook-blind snakes have bright gray or purple bodies. There is a transparent film on the eye of the hook-blind snake, indicating that its eyes have lost sight. Their eyes can't see objects, but they still have a certain ability to sense light.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the second type: the three-toed jerboa</h1>
The three-toed jerboa is a species of the family Jerboa, the genus Three-toed Jerboa. The body length is about 101-155mm, and the tail length exceeds 1/3 of the body length. The head is large, the eyes are large, the ears are short, and there is a row of fence-like white hard hairs in front of the ear shell. Forelimb 5 toes, the first toe is a short and wide claw, the remaining 4 toes of the claw are relatively slender and sharp, the hind limbs are particularly developed, the length is about 3-4 times the forelimbs. The hind feet have only 3 middle toes, and the two toes are completely degenerated, with comb-like hard hairs under the toes. The claws of the second and fourth toes are particularly developed, and there are black and white "tail spikes" at the end of the tail. The back coat on the three-toed jerboy is nearly brownish gray, and the ventral surface is pure white.
Three-toed jerboas are nocturnal, omnivorous, usually breeding only once a year, with a fetal litter of 2-7 litters, inhabiting fixed or semi-fixed dunes, sand alluvial fans, gravel deserts in aeolian sand dune areas, also distributed in parts of Asia. The three-toed jerboy has been inscribed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2008 Red List of Threatened Species.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the first type: the mini cat Peeburgs</h1>
Peebles, it's the name of a cat. On July 23, 2004, the Illinois veterinarian Donna Susman in the United States discovered this cat, and experts pointed out that it was short due to genetic defects, similar to the mini version, weighing only 0.3 pounds and 7.62 centimeters in height, which is the smallest cat in the world today, and has now been included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Peebles is as normal as a cat's development, but it is still small, which is rare. Peebles could even live in the teacup and use the teacup as his nest. Such a miniature kitten, it looks like a toy, but it is indeed a real cat, lying on its stomach is the size of a human palm. It was really cute.
Well, this is the end, what kind of mini animal comment area do you like!
