WAY OT- worlds smallest vertbrate, a frog
See this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedophryne_amauensis This animal is described as the worlds smallest vertebrate, beating out a male anglerfish that lives as a parasite on the female. Anyway, there's a great picture of the frog sitting on and being dwarfed by a dime. Eric |

The poor guy attaches to his mate's body and melts away, becoming nothing more than a sack of gonads along for the ride. |
