Kitti’s Hog-nosed Bat

Kitti’s Hog-nosed Bat, also called the bumblebee bat, can be found in Thailand and Burma. They can grow to be about 33mm in length, which possibly makes them the smallest mammal known to man. Not much is known about them. They can live in groups of anywhere from 10 to 500 bats, they feed several times a day, mostly on insects. They do not use echolocation like many other bats. Their numbers in Burma are unknown, and in Thailand there is only one province they are known to be found in, meaning they are possibly at risk of extinction.
