This critically endangered amphibian only grows to be about 10mm in snout to vent length—that’s 0.39 of an inch! Eleutherodactylus iberia is the smallest frog in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s found in eastern Cuba, including in Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt, which is where Museum researcher Chris Raxworthy snapped this photo in 2015 while on the Explore21 Expedition to Cuba. Much remains unknown about this tiny species, as it was first discovered in 1996.

This striking frog is as beautiful as it is rare. The Kerala Hills frog [Melanobatrachus indicus] is a microhylid, and the sole species of its subfamily Melanobatrachinae. Only rediscovered in 1997, this frog is listed as threatened by the IUCN Red List, though very little information on its estimated population has been collected. It’s endemic to the humid evergreen forests of India’s southern states. Images by
