The smallest penguin species is the little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor), which stands around 30–33 cm (12–13 in) tall and weighs 1.2–1.3 kg (2.6–2.9 lb). [74] The smallest bird of prey is the Black-thighed falconet (Microhierax fringillarius), with a wingspan of 27–32 centimetres (11–13 in), roughly the size of a sparrow. [75]

Small mammals or micromammals are a subdivision of mammals based on their body mass and size. Different values have been used as the upper limit. Different values have been used as the upper limit. The International Biological Programme has defined small mammals as species weighing up to 5 kg.
The head is relatively large, with a long, mobile proboscis, and the hind limbs are relatively small. [10] The ears are relatively large and protuberant. [ 8 ] The Etruscan shrew has a very fast heart beating rate , up to 1511 beats/min (25 beats/s) and a relatively large heart muscle mass, 1.2% of body weight. [ 3 ]

The domain of eukaryotes represent a small minority of the number of organisms; [17] however, due to their generally much larger size, their collective global biomass is estimated to be about equal to that of prokaryotes. [17] Prokaryotes number about 4–6 × 10 30 cells and 350–550 Pg of C. [18]
