Humongous elephants are no match for...ants. Seems that African elephants are scaredy cats! Seeing ants crawling around on one of their favorite species of acadia tree will gets them going in a different direction. Elephants don't like the creatures crawling up their trunks which are very sensitive due to its many nerve endings. Almost like a David and Goliath kind of story, teeny ants are protecting the trees from the the hulking elephants. Without the ant bodyguards, the giant herbivores(plant eaters)would destroy the tree's bark. But, ants still need to worry. Towering giraffes aren't afraid of ants and simply use their long tongues to swipe them away from the trees!Learn more about African elephants at this link:

Can you think of a creature that can sit on the tip of a pencil? Well, the smallest frog yet, discovered in Asia, Europe or Africa, could easily do so! The teeny frog is part of a species of mini-frogs called microhylid and was found on a road near the in Kubah National Park on the island of Borneo. Did you know that 1/3 of all amphibians are in danger of extinction? Did you know that amphibians do an important job helping to keep the bug population in check which could make us sick or destroy growing food crops? A conservation group is conducting a worldwide search of 100 species of "lost amphibians", those which haven't been seen in many years and may be extinct. At about .4 inches long when full grown, this itsy bitsy frog is about the size of a pea! See a photograph:
