Hatched on February 16, this species is particularly unique as it hatches as a perfectly formed tiny frog rather than a tadpole. It is one of the few species of frogs in the world that do this. Native to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands this species is not yet endangered, however they do face many of the same environmental challenges, such as pollution and loss of habitat that is jeopardizing nearly half of the world's amphibian species. This year Lincoln Park Zoo is celebrating "Year of the Frog" along with other Association of Zoos and Aquarium facilities around the country to raise public awareness about the amphibian decline crisis. <br> </span> <br><br>5-May-08 2:00 PM Solomon Island leaf froglet <span id="imgCaption">This Lincoln Park Zoo handout shows a tiny Solomon Island leaf froglet as it delicately perches on the fingertip of its animal keeper at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois on May 1, 2008.
