Kitti's hog-nosed bat is small at about 29 to 33 mm (1.1 to 1.3 in) in length and 2 g (0.071 oz) in mass, [2] [3] hence the common name of "bumblebee bat". It is the smallest species of bat and may be the world's smallest mammal, depending on how size is defined.
The Kitti's hog-nosed bat, Craseonycteris thonglongyai, the smallest species of bat and the smallest mammal in the world, was found by him in 1973.He died suddenly from a massive heart attack, so the formal description was written by his British colleague, John E. Hill, who named the species in honour of its discoverer.
