Octopus Wolfi

Octopus Wolfi is also known as the star-sucker pygmy octopus is the smallest octopus on this planet and are also members of the Cephalopoda family. Researchers say that this interesting and cute creature can be found in the waters of the western Pacific, around Tahiti. 

Studies have shown that both male and female Octopus Wolfis will die after spawning and brooding. When it comes to mating behavior, the male is the one who tries different tricks to conquer the female. 

Even though the Octopus Wolfi looks like a coral, they are actually small creatures that can be found in the waters of the Pacific, and this is simply wonderful. This is proof that we are surrounded only by beautiful things in this big world, by incredible creatures that many of us have never heard of until now.

Pygmy Marmoset

The Pygmy Marmoset, also known as mini monkey, is the smallest species of monkeys native to South America. Pygmy Marmosets weigh around 100 grams and are so small that they could fit in the palm of your hand. However, although they are the tiniest monkeys out there, their tails are longer than their bodies. 

They spend their time in the trees, forest canopy, or bamboo thickets near rivers and they love to hide among the plants. The most common predators of Pygmy Marmosets are cats, harpy eagles, hawks, and snakes. Fortunately, they have a very flexible neck which helps them turn their heads backward to notice the predators and their superpower is speed. 

In addition, as many of you already know, these tiny monkeys are excellent climbers, which is great for evading and escaping predators in some cases or for gathering food. They feed on various veggies, fruits, crickets, mealworms, wax worms and are particularly fond of hard-boiled eggs. 

Pygmy Marmosets usually live in large groups called troops. Troops are made up of parents and children, which means that parents mate for life and they are like a real family. The female marmoset can be pregnant for about four months and give birth to up to four babies the size of a human finger. The father is the one who takes care of the babies in general.
