Monte Iberia eleuth
The Monte Iberia eleuth (''Eleutherodactylus iberia'') is the smallest living frog in the Northern Hemisphere, about in snout–vent length. It is the third-smallest frog (and tetrapod) in the world, following ''Paedophryne amauensis'' and the Brazilian gold frog. It was first discovered in 1996 on Mount Iberia, from which it gets its name, and exists in only two small regions of Cuba. Much remains unknown about this small creature.
==Discovery==
This diminutive species was first documented by Cuban scientist Alberto R. Estrada of the Institute of Forest Research in Havana, working with S. Blair Hedges of Pennsylvania State University in association with the National Science Foundation's Biotic Surveys and Inventories Program. On a 1996 expedition to Cuchillas de Moa in search of the ivory-billed woodpecker (now believed to be extinct), four ''E. iberia'' specimens were collected after being uncovered under leaf litter and among the roots of ferns in a secondary hardwood forest on the western slope of Monte Iberia.〔(Eleutherodactylus iberia (No common name) )〕 The find was published in the journal ''Copeia'', where the name ''Eleutherodactylus iberia'' was introduced.〔〔(US NSF - News - Biotic Surveys Program Uncovers Smallest Frog, Frontiers, September 1997 )〕
