Pascal. Miniaturized.

On the heels of the discovery of the world's smallest frog, comes the announcement of the discovery of the world's tiniest chameleon.  (You might recognize a chameleon if you are the parent of a daughter in the throes of Rapunzel-fever). 

The species, Brookesia micra, was found in remote rainforests of northern Matagascar.  They are considered "microendemic", which means that they are not only endemic (found in only one place on earth), but they are seriously endemic - this little guy can only be found on one island.

(As an aside, and because I am into pre-school humor, the island carries the unfortunate name of Nosy Hara).

World's tiniest frog - a new record

About the size of a Tic Tac, these miniaturized frogs were discovered in the forests of southeastern Papua New Guinea.  One of the two new species of frogs was given the scientific name Paedophryne dekot.  The species name 'dekot' is the word for "very small" in Daga, the native language.
