what is the smallest primate in the world?

The smallest primate not extinct was the Philippine Tarsier at 4 inches and weighing about 60 grams.  But recently the pigmy mouse lemur (microcebus myoxinus) was rediscovered in Madagascar.  It weighs just 30 grams when fully grown.  It is known to only inhabit the Kirindy Forest.  I do not know of any pictures of this animal other than sketches.

Of adult animals that have a spine (i.e. the vertebrates), the smallest one, with the shortest spine would probably be a male Stout Infantfish (Schindleria brevipinguis) which can be only 6.5 mm long (head to tail) when sexually mature.  The spine of the infantfish would be a bit shorter than that, taking into account the size of its head and tail.\n\nWhether or not you count larval fish (which can be microscopic) depends on whether or not you consider them to have a complete spine.

It depends which species you are talking about--the Killer whale (Orcinus orca)is the largest dolphin. Male killer whales can grow up to 9.6 m (31.5 ft).  There is not really one smallest species. The smallest species include: True dolphins (Delphinidae): Tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis) - 1.3 to 1.8 m Hector's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori) - 1.2 to 1.5 m Black dolphin (Cephalorhynchus eutropia) - 1.2 to 1.7 m Commerson's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii) - 1.3 to 1.7 m.

A chimpanzee is way smaller.  A gorilla looks like a human-size version of King Kong.

The tarsiers are the members of the Tarsius genus of prosimian primates, monotypic in the Tarsiidae family and Tarsiiformes infraorder. The entire infraorder was previously classified in the Strepsirhini suborder, but now classified in the Haplorrhini suborder, although they are not considered to be monkeys. Evidence for the position of Tarsier in the primate tree came for example from Retrotransposon presence/absence data. Tarsiers have enormous eyes and long feet. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, which is how they got their name, and most are nocturnal. They are primarily insectivorous, and catch insects by jumping at them. They are also known to prey on birds and snakes. Gestation takes about six months, and tarsiers give birth to single offspring. Once found in Asia, Europe and North America, tarsiers are now only found on several Southeast Asian islands including the Philippines, Sulawesi, Borneo, and Sumatra. Their conservation status has been classified as "Lower Risk/Conservation Dependent". When caged, some tarsiers have been known to injure and even kill themselves because of the stress [1]. They also have the longest continuous fossil record of any primate, and the fossil record suggests that their dental pattern and shape hasn't changed in 45 million years. Unlike many nocturnal animals, tarsiers lack a light-reflecting area (tapetum lucidum) of the eye. They also have a fovea, atypical for nocturnal animals.

On Earth, since at the moment at least (and for the forseeable future) Earth is the only place for creatures.\n\nI'd vote for a virus as being the smallest, some are just shells with DNA around them. The smallest viruses are about 20 nanometers across, and the very smallest one known has only 4 genes. I believe this type of virus is so small that its host - the thing it attacks - is a microbe.\n\n\nA lot of depends on how you define a 'creature.' Just recently the worlds smallest fish was found near Sumatra, one that also claimed the smallest creature with backbone award.

Hmm...monkeys are a tad not as smart as humans, they cannot speak, hairy, and extremely on the ugly side...humans are a bit more advanced, and i'll say that's your answer..:)

Kitti's hognosed bat, also known as the bumblebee bat is generally considered the smallest mammal (as asdf... said).  This record is based on skull length, with the bat having the shortest skull of any mammal.\n\nIf you take the smallest mammal as being the one with the lowest average adult body mass, then the smallest mammal is the Etruscan pygmy shrew.  It weighs less than the bat, but because it has a long nose, its skull is longer.
