Small creatures have a better chance of survival than large creatures because it is easier for them to hide and they require less food.

It's not entirely clear where you are heading with this. If you mean in competition with larger ones to survive evolutionary pressure, it's because they had an adequate combination of smallness, suitable and sufficient foodstuffs, some dexterity to avoid predators, and the like. Size alone does not survival make -- consider the mammoths, and the sabretooth tiger.
