10 of the World's Smallest Things

1 – World’s smallest gun that fires deadly 270mph bullets

The SwissMiniGun is the size of a key fob but fires tiny 270mph bullets powerful enough to kill at close range.
Officially the world’s smallest working revolver, the gun is being marketed as a collector’s item and measures just 2.16 inches long (5.5cm). It can fire real 4.53 bullets up to a range of 367ft (112m).
The stainless steel gun costs £3,000 although the manufacturers also produce extravagant, made-to-order versions made out of 18-carat gold with customised diamond studs which sell for up to £30,000.

2 – World’s Smallest Fish

The world’s smallest fish has been discovered in the peat swamps of the Indonesian Island of Sumatra. The picture on the right shows its size against a thumb. At maturity, the fish can be about 7.9 mm in length.

3 – World’s Smallest Teddy Bear

At 5mm tall, this teddy bear by German artist Bettina Kaminski is the World’s Smallest Teddy Bear. Definitely one teddy bear that every little girl wishes for.

4 – World’s Smallest Horse

Thumbelina, officially the world’s smallest horse stands at an astounding 17 inches tall. She was born on a farm in America to a couple specialising in breeding miniature horses. Thumbelina was a dwarf among the dwarves, which her owner calls it a complete fluke. Normal horses lives to about 35 years while she is only likely to live for 17 years.

5 – World’s Smallest Dog

Tiny Pinnochio is possibly the world’s smallest dog weighing at one pound and only the size of a coke can. She had been on Oprah’s show in the past and rose to stardom. However she is not alive anymore where her owner found her dead after overeating herself to death. Here is the rant of mudpiglet regarding the ordeal of the dog.

6 – World’s Smallest Burger

7 – World’s Smallest Baby

Meet Amillia Taylor – or what she looked like on October 24th 2006 , when she was born as the world’s youngest surviving premature baby. Amillia was born at a Miami hospital after less than 22 weeks of development.  Is there nothing more amazing than those teeny tiny translucent feet. Hold your own hand out in front of you, and imagine those feet poking through your fingers. She was 10 OUNCES when born (280 grams), and 9.5 inches (240 cm). That’s just longer than the length of your hand.

8 – Smallest Teapot In The World

The world’s smallest teapot made of ceramic is created by 73 year old Chinese renowned pottery master, Wu Ruishen. Weighing at just 1.4 grams this is no easy feat since clay would not be easy to mold at such scale and has to be functional as a teapot as well.

9 – World’s smallest known lizard

The world’s smallest known lizard, the Jaragua Sphaero or dwarf gecko, measures only 0.6in from the base of its tail to its snout. This endangered species lives in Jaragua National Park in the Dominican Republic and on Beata Island off the southern coast of Hispaniola.

Born in 1957 in Birmingham, Willard Wigan MBE began his artistic life at a tender age. Suffering from dyslexia and learning difficulties, he struggled at school, finding solace in creating art of such minute proportions that it virtually could not be seen with the naked eye.
He’s sculptures are so small they can rest on the head of a pin or in the eye of a needle, like his Statue of Liberty sculpture
