Pretty cool to think that God managed to pack all the necessary organs and systems of a complex adult vertabrate into such a tiny package.

The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

Wow, they are tiny!
I’m curious to see what their babies look like after they are born.
Any pictures available?

It was funny to watch my pro-abortion Facebook friends marvel and wonder over this lizard. They apparently didn’t see the mental disconnect that requires.

Interesting! However, I must protest dragging Bigfoot into this discussion. He is the one ultimate truth left on this earth.

From what I understand, the frogs hatch as hoppers (do not go through the tadpole stage) and get larger (though not much larger). The cameleon is an adult. Scientists think the smallest vertabrate will ultimately be some species of fish.
Tiny Chameleon can’t change color, BTW.

The much larger Romney Chameleon changes from red to blue, depending on what state he’s in.
