As the smallest known frog species in the world's second largest mountain range, this new amphibian is easy to miss. But scientists searching the Andes mountains' upper Cosqipata Valley in southern Peru, near Cusco, spotted the coin-size creature--a member of the Noblella genus--in the leaf litter of a cloud forest between 9,925 and 10,466 feet (3,025 and 3,190 meters).
