The body mass varies between 1.3 g (0.046 oz) [9] and 2.5 g (0.088 oz) [4] [8] and is usually about 1.8 g (0.063 oz). [3] In comparison, the related greater white-toothed shrew can be twice as long and weighs four to five times more. [8] The head is relatively large, with a long, mobile proboscis, and the hind limbs are relatively small. [10]
Quetzalcoatlus northropi has gained fame as a candidate for the largest flying animal ever discovered, though estimating its size has been difficult due to the fragmentary nature of the only known specimen. While wingspan estimates over the years have ranged from 5.2–25.8 m (17–85 ft), more recent estimates hover around 10–11 m (33–36 ft).
The dugong (/ ˈ d (j) uː ɡ ɒ ŋ /; Dugong dugon) is a marine mammal.It is one of four living species of the order Sirenia, which also includes three species of manatees.It is the only living representative of the once-diverse family Dugongidae; its closest modern relative, Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), was hunted to extinction in the 18th century.
The largest species of dragonfly is Tetracanthagyna plagiata of Southeast Asia, spanning up to 17.6 cm (6.9 in) and measuring up to 11.8 cm (4.6 in) long; while bulkier and heavier than Megaloprepus (at up to 7 g (0.25 oz)), it is smaller in its linear dimensions.

There are 107 classes of animals in 33 phyla in this list. However, different sources give different numbers of classes and phyla. For example, Protura, Diplura, and Collembola are often considered to be the three orders in the class Entognatha. This list should by no means be considered complete and authoritative and should be used carefully.
Four classes of arthropods each provide multiple examples, including sea spiders (with 4 to 6 leg pairs, [11] providing two examples) and pauropods (adults with 8 to 11 leg pairs, [12] providing four examples), but most of the examples listed are either millipedes (adults with 11 to 653 leg pairs) [5] [1] or centipedes (adults with 15 to 191 ...
The animal's population density appears to be low: in Kirindy Forest, where it is thought to be common, its density has been estimated at one animal per 4 km 2 (1.5 sq mi) in 1998. [9] Another study in the same forest between 1994 and 1996 using the mark and recapture method indicated a population density of one animal per 3.8 km 2 (1.5 sq mi ...
