15 tiny and rare frogs born at London Zoo
The London Zoo announced the birth of 15 Afia Birago puddle frogs, one of the world’s smallest and rarest amphibians.
The frog is about a fifth of an inch in size — no larger than the tip of a pencil. These are the first to be born in captivity.
Researchers are racing to save the species, which was only identified in its native Ghana eight years ago.
