Paedophryne amauensis is a recently discovered species of frog from Papua New Guinea. At 7.7 millimetres (0.30 in) in length, it is possibly the world's smallest vertebrate.[2][1]
Living in the leaf litter on the floors of tropical forests, P. amauensis are crepuscular. Males call for mates with a series of very high pitched 8400–9400 Hz peeps.[1]
