With a mass of approximately 1.95 grams (0.069 oz) and a length of 5.5 centimetres (2.2 inches), the bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is the smallest known dinosaur as well as the smallest bird species, and the smallest warm-blooded vertebrate. Called the zunzuncito in its native habitat on Cuba, it is lighter than a Canadian or U.S. penny.
Its cells are only 400 nm in diameter, making it the smallest known living organism, and the smallest known archaeon. N. equitans ' genome consists of a single circular chromosome , and has an average GC-content of 31.6%.
A nanobe (/ ˈ n æ n oʊ b, ˈ n eɪ n oʊ b /) [1] is a tiny filamental structure first found in some rocks and sediments.Some scientists hypothesize that nanobes are the smallest form of life, 1 / 10 the size of the smallest known bacteria.
“This species represents the smallest known fossil member of the family Felidae to date,” the study says of the newly discovered cat.. The discovery points to a wide diversity of felines ...
Paedophryne amauensis, also known as the New Guinea Amau frog, is a species of microhylid frog endemic to eastern Papua New Guinea. [2] [4] At 7.7 mm (0.30 in) in snout-to-vent length, it was once considered the world's smallest known vertebrate. [3] [5] [6]

Nanobacterium (/ ˌ n æ n oʊ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i əm / NAN-oh-bak-TEER-ee-əm, pl. nanobacteria / ˌ n æ n oʊ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i ə / NAN-oh-bak-TEER-ee-ə) is the unit or member name of a former proposed class of living organisms, specifically cell-walled microorganisms, now discredited, with a size much smaller than the generally ...
At the time of its sequencing, C. ruddii was thought to have the smallest genome of any characterized bacterial species. [8] Nasuia deltocephalinicola is now considered to have the known smallest bacterial genome (112kb). [9] C. ruddii and related species appear to be actively undergoing gene loss. [10]
