PERU-ANIMAL-PYGMY FROG
An 11.4-millimeter-long (0.45inch) frog, one of the world's smallest, "Noble's Pygmy," has just been discovered in an "elfin forest" within the South American Andes, according to an announcement April 6, 2009 by the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum of Dresden. Because Manu National Park is a well known biological ?hotspot," the scientists that conducted the study, Edgar Lehr of the Senckenberg Natural History Collection Dresden in Germany and Alessandro Catenazzi of the University of California at Berkeley, think that Noblella pygmaea is only one of many undiscovered amphibians in the Andes mountain area.
