The Largest Living Organism Is a Fungus. Not as cool as a giant gorilla or something, the largest living organism on the planet is actually a honey fungus that spreads across 2.4 miles in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. Though you'd just see the individual yellow-brown mushrooms sprouting on the surface, they are actually all connected to a giant organism under the surface (yes, this sounds like the stuff of nightmares). Who knew?

The Smallest Mammal in the World Is a Bat. While the smallest living thing is some single-celled amoeba that's too boring to talk about, the smallest mammal in the world is a kind of adorable one-inch creature known as the Kitti's hog-nosed bat. It's found in western Thailand and southeast Burma and spends its days in evergreen forests or limestone caves. Who knew?
