This miniature frog, less than 14 millimetres in length, is barely bigger than a pencil tip. Found in the forests of Serra do Quiriri, Brazil, this new-to-science species of pumpkin toadlet frog has been named Brachycephalus lulai, after the country’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva. Researchers spotted the frog thanks to its unique mating call, and later confirmed it was a new species using DNA analysis.
