Smallest organisms cetacean, which is also (as of 2006) the most endangered, is the vaquita. Male vaquitas grow to an average of around 135 cm (53 in); the females are slightly longer, averaging about 141 cm (55 in) in length. Duckweeds of the genus "Wolffia" are the world's smallest flowering plants. Fully grown, they measure only 300 µm by 600 µm and reach a mass of just 150 µg. Nanobes are thought by some scientists to be the smallest known organisms about one tenth the size of the smallest known bacteria.
