Correct Answer: Etruscan pygmy shrew
The heart rate of an Etruscan shrew can reach up to 1,511 beats per minute (25 beats/s). The Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus) is the smallest known extant mammal by mass, weighing only about 1.8 g (0.063 oz) on average. The typical heart rate for both a hummingbird and the Pygmy shrew found in the Americas is 1,200 beats per minute. The bumblebee bat is regarded as the smallest mammal by skull size and body length; its heart rate is about 1,000 per minute.
