Tiny Toad rocks my world. Since the article doesn't identify the smallest vertebrate, it's a frog. I love this Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest_organisms

I don't think it was updated, as it points to the New Guinea Amau frog as the smallest, but if you follow that article it points so the Brazilian flea frog as the new smallest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachycephalus_pulex
