"easy trainability. Falabella The Falabella miniature horse is one of the smallest breeds of horse in the world, seldom taller than in height at the withers. The Falabella, despite its size, is not considered a pony, but rather is a miniature horse. The ancestral stock of the horse of South America descended from horses brought to the western hemisphere by the Spanish of Andalusian and other Iberian bloodlines. In the southern part of the continent, significant numbers of these horses developed within geographically isolated conditions and by the mid-19th century, there were any number of smaller, inbred animals in the"
"Tinkerbella Tinkerbella is a genus of fairy wasps, containing the single species Tinkerbella nana from Costa Rica. It is one of the smallest known flying arthropods and belongs to the family Mymaridae. The smallest flying arthropod known is ""Megaphragma caribea"", a trichogrammatid wasp that measures 170 micrometres long. It was identified by a team led by John Huber at the Canadian National Collection of Insects and John Noyes at the Natural History Museum. Noyes collected it during a scientific expedition in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. ""Tinkerbella"" specimens have been added to the museum collection of about 1.5 million"

This peculiar-looking animal was unrelated to modern elephants, and was, instead, related to other extinct South American ungulates. The beast lived in the Early to Middle Miocene. Fossil remains of the type species ""A. magnus"" (""Great Lightning Beast"") have been found in the Santa Cruz Formation in Argentina. Other fossils have been found in the Deseado, Sarmiento and Aisol Formations of Argentina and Chile (Cura-Mallín). ""Astrapotherium"" had an elongated body, with a total length"
