Default 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.

Parasites are usually thought of as winners, getting the better end of
the deal. Not so the male anglerfish. The poor guy attaches to his
mate's body and melts away, becoming nothing more than a sack of gonads
along for the ride.
