Strictly speaking, the smallest animal in the world would be an amoeba. Amoebas are unicellular organisms, which means they are comprised of only a single cell and are classed in the animal kingdom under Protozoa. So, technically speaking, Amoebas are actually animal-like protists classifed in the kingdom Protista, and thus not animals. However many people do not consider these to be "living creatures", despite their inclusion in the animal kingdom. The other smallest animals, in order of there size, are: The smallest insects are the male parasitic wasps. They measure only 139 micrometers in length. The females are around 40% larger than the males. These are the smallest animals, when amoeba and the like are not included.
