Kitti's hog-nosed bat, also known as the bumblebee bat, is the smallest bat in the world. It is found in a small area of Myanmar and Thailand, where it lives in limestone caves. It is a member of the family Craseonycteridae, and is the only species in its genus.

It is a very small bat, with a wingspan of only 5-6 cm and a body weight of only 2 grams. Its fur is reddish-brown and it has a distinctive, pointed muzzle. It feeds mainly on small insects, such as ants and termites, that it catches in flight.

This bat is listed as endangered due to its limited range, and it is believed that its population is declining. Threats to its survival include the destruction of its habitat, as well as hunting and trapping for food and for use in traditional medicine.

In order to help protect this species, conservation efforts are being made to preserve its habitat and to educate people about its importance. It is also important to protect the caves in which this bat lives, as they provide a safe and stable environment for it to survive.
