    Solution

    Scientists recently discovered the world’s smallest species of Fanged Frogs named Limnonectes phyllofolia from Indonesia.  They refer to a group of 75 species of frogs belonging to the genus Limnonectes.  These frogs are known for their distinctive fang-like structures, which are actually projections of their jaw bone.  They are found throughout East and Southeast Asia.  However, unlike many snakes, these frogs don’t use their fangs to bite humans or inject venom into a person’s body.
