quot;A new frog discovered in Cuba by scientists funded by the National Science Foundation is the smallest in the Northern Hemisphere, and is tied for the world record with the smallest frog in the Southern Hemisphere...The one-centimeter-long frog also is the smallest of the tetrapods, a grouping that includes all animals with backbones except fishes...Scientists S.

The smallest frog in North America is the Little Grass Frog (Pseudacris / Limnaoedus ocularis), which ranges in length from 7/16 to 5/8 inches.

To answer that you have to think about what endangered means. Is it the frog species with the smallest number of individuals? Or is it the frog species in which the number of individuals is being reduced the most quickly? Either way you ask the question, for most species we don't have the numbers to actually say which is the most endangered.

The smallest spider in the world is the Patu Digua Spider. Its body is only about a third of a millimeter long -- smaller than the head of a pin!

The largest frog is the Goliath Frog of Cameroon in Africa, and is found near swiftly flowing rivers and in dense rain forests. They look like giant bullfrogs. Its body can be more than a foot long, and its entire length with the legs extended can be more than two and a half feet long. Goliath Frogs have been known to weigh more than seven pounds!

Bet you didn't see this one coming! There are also different opinions on this one. Some sources say it is the Least Pygmy Owl, others say it is the Elf Owl. The smallest overall length measurement I've seen in a publication is for the Elf Owl in the book "North American Owls; Biology and Natural History" by Paul Johnsgard. The measurement is 10.5cm.

In the “Z” (depth) direction, AMI is sensitive to separations as small as 200 Angstroms. In the X-Y directions, the resolution is based on the ultrasonic frequency and the design of the transducer. Typically the resolution is about 250 microns for 10 MHz, 75 microns for 30 MHz, 25 microns for 100 MHz and 10 microns for 230 MHz. However, a transducer can actually detect defects smaller than its resolution by an order of magnitude.

A frog is made of various materials such as leather or metal. It attaches the scabbard to the soldier's belt or kit.

Good question! We believe that today it may be us, if you're talking about a full-function, stand-alone Web server with an Ethernet connection. Our PicoWeb server PCB is smaller than a standard business card, and only has components on one single side. We could make it substantially smaller, but that would drive up the assembly and parts costs. It's a sure bet that we are going to see even smaller Web-enabled devices in the future.

We designed the EVOLT E-500 to give it the best balance of size, weight, and strength. The camera uses an aluminum frame skeleton surrounded by a modern polycarbonate (plastic) body. Modern polycarbonate is often as strong as many of the metals used in traditional camera construction. We did not want to make the camera too small otherwise we would compromise the mount and holding of large size lenses.

It's of keen interest to me, to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.'' - Joseph C. Wilson IV. To learn the etymology of the term frog-march you can read this column by Bill Safire. He may have spent his career shilling for the Republicans and our intelligence services, but he is a reliable source on language.

Frog Peak Music is a composers' collective, devoted to the availability of experimental works. Mostly musical, but not entirely. Frog Peak member artists have more or less complete control of which of their works are in Frog Peak, and how they are reproduced. We're interested in innovative, appropriate uses of technology to get works out cheaply, and in staying organizationally small and sustainable.

Figuring out what sex a frog is can be difficult, and will depend largely on what species it is. Generally, male frogs call while females do not. Male frogs also are usually smaller and more angular or streamlined in appearance, unlike females which are often larger and more robust. During the breeding season, males of many species will develop what are called nuptial pads on the inner part of their limbs or digits.

Generally when a frog looks like it's yawning it is actually shedding its skin. Growing juvenile frogs of all species shed their skin on a regular basis, often as much as once a day. To conserve all of their nutrients frogs normally eat their skin while shedding, and this can give them the appearance that they are yawning.

Call us, email us, or contact us in any way, and send us some examples of your work. Joining is informal, but selective. We are very interested in experimental, innovativeart and music, and we take the considered recommendations of member artists pretty seriously. Also, we like to work with nice, cooperative people, who are as much interested in the benefits to everyone in the collective as they are to their own work. Many Frog Peak artists are invited.

Hundreds. Along with its many single member artists, Frog Peak has taken on the complete remaining inventory of several like-minded projects in American (and elsewhere) experimental independent publishing (for example, Soundings and Lingua Press), as well as distributing nearly complete collections of periodicals like Xenharmonikon, furnitures and Feedback, we include a great many artists who do not have a "single" listing in the catalog.

This is difficult to answer because not many people ever die by coming into contact with frogs. However, we do know that many frogs have powerful toxins in their skins, and these toxins can range from mildly irritating to eyes and skin to deadly if swallowed. Cane Toads, Bufo marinus, are known to be deadly to humans, and the skin secretions of poison-arrow frogs of tropical America are used to tip the hunting arrows of the indigenous people.

The most toxic of all the world's poisonous frogs is the Phylobates aurotaenia, the gold banded arrow-poison frog. With this species it would be necessary only to rub an arrow tip on the skin of an adult frog to gather enough poison to instantly kill most prey or enemies. Click here for more information.
