    Which mammal is the smallest?

    Question #52440. Asked by super babe.

    McGruff

    The smallest mammal is either the pygmy shrew or the bumblebee bat, depending what website you look at.

    Shrews are fascinating animals. There are over 300 species of them on the planet. One species is the smallest mammal on earth, weighing approximately two grams as an adult.

    There was also an image of a Bumblebee Bat that is the smallest mammal on Earth and weighs less than a penny.

    A penny weighs 2.5 grams, so "less than a penny" would put it about the same size as a pygmy shrew, I suppose.
