Do not adjust your computer monitors. Yes, this is a frog. On the end of a pencil. Yes, he is smaller than the average frog and yes, he is a damn cute amphibian!

The world’s smallest amphibian has reecently been discovered and has been dubbed by scientists: the Microhyla nepenthicola.

Adult frogs of this species range between 10.6 and 12.8 mm. How cute is that?

“Amphibians are quite sensitive to changes in their surroundings, so we hope the discovery of these miniature frogs will help us to understand what changes in the global environment are having an impact on these fascinating animals,” said Conservation International’s Dr Robin Moore.
