Resource:http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2011/12/12/worlds_smallest_frogs_discovered_in_new_guinea.html

Summary:
Basically this very small frogs (Paedophryne dekot and Paedophryne verrucosa) are the smallest tetripods ( non fish vertebrates) and frogs to be known.They grow 8-9 mm in length and are very good climbers to to their decreased weight. They live in "leaf litter". Also tho the females egg capacity has diminished due to size, limiting them to about two.

Critique: This was an intresting article. I found it very interesting that these are other species of frogs but the are just "minturized".

Impact: This is just another amazing discovery in science proving we can never be to shure we know everything.
