Dwarf elephants are pre-historic members of the order Proboscidea, that, through the process of allopatric speciation, evolved to a fraction of the size of their modern relatives.
Island dwarfing is a biological phenomenon by which the size of animals isolated on an island shrinks dramatically over generations.
These dwarf forms were then replaced by the medium to large-sized Stegodon florensis, a species closely related to the Stegodon trigonocephalus group found both in Java and in the islands of biogeographical Wallacea, separated by deep water from the Asian and Australian continental shelves.

 DWARF, MIDGET AND MINIATURE CATS (TEACUP CATS)
According to some texts, pituitary dwarfs have normal sexual development and are capable of reproduction although they may be unable to carry a normal-sized foetus to full term.
There are problems where miniature (dwarf or midget) female cats are allowed to breed - if the kittens reach full term and are not miniature, a caesarean section is needed as their larger heads cannot pass through the miniature mother's birth canal.
When a dwarf female has normal sized kittens, those kittens may be too large to pass through her birth canal.

 White Dwarfs and Novae

Matter accretes in a thin layer on the surface of the white dwarf and eventually ignites in a thermonuclear explosion under degenerate conditions.
The white dwarfs in the field are circled; as expected, they are quite faint compared with the other stars.

 White Dwarfs
A white dwarf is what stars like our Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
A typical white dwarf is half as massive as the Sun, yet only slightly bigger than the Earth.
Degenerate matter has other unusual properties; for example, the more massive a white dwarf is, the smaller it is! This is because the more mass a white dwarf has, the more its electrons must squeeze together to maintain enough outward pressure to support the extra mass.
