Meet The Tiniest Bird In The World – The Bee Hummingbird

The bee hummingbird's size makes them vulnerable to larger birds, frogs, fish and even tropical spiders, the University of Michigan notes, but predators aren't their biggest threat. Their declining population is due to deforestation and habitat loss. Cuba's decreasing natural vegetation, and growing pasture fields and farmland, pose a serious threat to these tiny birds who call the dense forests and woodlands their home. The bee hummingbird is currently considered near threatened on the IUCN Red List. But just because you can't see this tiny evolutionary wonder, doesn't mean it's not there. Source: Dodo
