Human beings tend to attribute their success exclusively to their intelligence. They usually forget another determining factor: their size. The world of small animals, however, is brimming with fascinating surprises, some of which are precisely related to their small size and the extraordinary variety of their different shapes. These tiny creatures have great athletic capabilities, use impressive camouflage, and are incredibly adaptive, which makes them some of the most successful survivors.
