The Monte Iberia Eleuth, the smallest Frog in the (Northern) World [the creature seen on Discovery's LIFE]
Another tiny creature that was only recently discovered [less than 15 years ago] is
the Monte Iberia Eleuth, which was discovered on a mountain in Cuba. Specimens
that measure just 8.5 millimeters have been found, putting it in the running for the
title of world’s smallest frog. The current record holder, the Brazilian Gold Frog,
measures about 9 millimeters. Very little is known about the Monte Iberia Eleuth
other than the fact that it’s critically endangered.
