Paedophryne is a genus of tiny frogs found in Papua New Guinea. They are notable for being among the smallest vertebrates in the world, with some species measuring less than 8 millimeters in length. These frogs inhabit leaf litter in tropical forests, where they blend in with their surroundings. The genus was first described in 2009, and it includes several species, such as Paedophryne amauensis. Their small size and unique adaptations allow them to thrive in their specific environments, making them an interesting subject for researchers studying biodiversity and evolution in amphibians.
