Current Event- Pea sized frog

Tiny creature makes an impact to the world.

As the ecosystem maintains, and the animals from each kingdom maintains their living, there is a pea sized frog which is hardly to discover called the “Gold Frog" or in Brazilian "Psyllophryne Didactyla." It dwells at Southern island of Asia located at Boreano Island, constituted as the smallest creature in the whole world. It is surrounded by pitcher plants in health forest. The “About 9.8 mm” frog amphibian is one of the species called microhylid. As the parents lay their eggs along the plant, the little ones grow in safety of the water inside the pitcher. These amphibians are the most threatened animals which should be conserved by others. The olive sized frogs (Microhyla nepenthicola) were investigated and discovered on the edge or a trail which lead to the peak of MT. Gunung Serapi. The newfound species was addressed after the plant on which it depends to live (Nepenthes ampullaria), a familiar species in Boreano Island. The organism plant contains globular pitcher and grows in damp & forests.

Mini Frogs set its eggs on the edges of the pitcher; tadpoles develop in liquids piled up inside the organism plant. Since the creatures are tiny, it is proved that searching for them won't be a great idea, as time goes by in Boreano Island, the amphibians sing their catchy tone “Amphibian symphony." The crawly sounds can go for hours without a stop... Amphibians, especially the main character of the article “frog” provides important functions to people such as halting disease or damages that spreads from insects or helping us to keep up the healthy fresh water systems.

In the future, I hope scientists can transmit these engaging resources to us, and once again I hope the research taking in 20 countries on five continents can support scientists to understand the current “amphibian extinction crisis.”
