The frog is black or brown. They are easily found in the trees precisely in the foliage. Body shape is very small and easily camouflaged, difficult for a traveler to see it. Must be really careful.
The researchers assessed the Monte Iberia scientific name Eleutherodactylus iberia, fall into one of three types of the smallest frogs in the world. But specifically in the Earth's northern hemisphere, this is the smallest frog in there.
This frog is most easily found in the eastern region of Cuba, precisely in the province of Holguin within 8 hours by car from the Cuban capital, Havana. There are two national parks, namely Alejandro de Humboldt National Park and the Sierra Cristal National Park so the frog habitat.
Monte Iberia, was first discovered in 1996. But apparently the researchers still believe that in Cuba there are smaller frogs again. Dear, 10 mm alone is very little what if there are still smaller than it huh?
