(Felipe Toledo via SWNS) By Dean Murray via SWNS The world's second-smallest vertebrate has been discovered - a tiny toad living in a Brazilian rainforest.
Researchers say the flea toad measures just 6.95 millimeters in length and can fit on the tip of a finger.
The name of the new species, B. dacnis, pays tribute to Project Dacnis, a conservation, research and education NGO that maintains private areas of the Atlantic Rainforest, including the one where the animal was found, in Ubatuba, on the coast of São Paulo state.
