Frogs that can perch on the tip of your little finger with room to spare have been claimed as the world’s smallest vertebrates, out-tinying a fish that got the title in 2006.
The Paedophryne amauensis and Paedophryne swiftorum are now the smallest known frogs as well as the smallest known vertebrates, a report in the science journal PLoS ONE said on Wednesday.
The frogs, that live in Papua New Guinea’s rainforest, are about 7.7 millimetres and 8 millimetres long.
