Who took this picture!? This absolutely PERFECT picture??? It is just… so… perfect. Distilled autumn pastoral fantasy. The colorful mushroom, the curl of the fern and flowers, the muted background foliage, the beady eyes and precise whiskers of the tiny squeakbeast!!! Unreal. Wow.
The Bumblebee bat, (or Kitti’s Hog Nosed Bat as it is also known as) the world’s smallest bat and is also the worlds smallest mammal. These cute little creatures are just 29 – 33mm in length, and have a wingspan of approximately 170mm and weigh a tiny amount of 2 grams. (Source)
Ever wonder what life is like as a cephalopod aquarist?
Our Tentacles exhibition is the largest living collection on cephalopods on display in the world—and keeping up with its tenants is colossal (squid) amount of work! Take a look behind the scenes with our Squid Squad and find out what it takes to care for our cuttle puddle of cephalopods.
It takes an ink-redible amount of work and knowledge to raise baby cephalopods. But as our cephalopod aquarists will tell you, it’s worth it!
Now, the term “criminally small” gets thrown around a lot on this blog. But I ask you… are you ready to behold true tininess?
This baby Mozambique rain frog [Breviceps mossambicus] was found and phtoographed near the Vis-Agier resort in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. These frogs require no water source to reproduce, instead laying eggs underground which then hatch by direct development into tiny frogs like the one you see above. These frogs inhabit a wide range of central and southern Africa, and are most commonly found after brief periods of rain. Images by Vis-Agie Resort on Facebook.
