Scientists in Brazil have identified a tiny new frog species in the Atlantic Rainforest, barely visible to the naked eye. Known as Brachycephalus dacnis, this minuscule creature is only 6.95 millimeters in length, fitting comfortably on the tip of a human finger. Researchers describe the frog’s call as cricket-like, making it nearly indistinguishable from insect sounds in its dense forest habitat.
