Indobatrachus

Indobatrachus (Greek for "Indian frog") is an extinct genus of frog that lived a very long time ago during the Early Paleocene period in what is now India. It is special because it only had one known species called Indobatrachus pusillus.

This frog was very tiny, measuring just 20 millimetres (about 0.79 inches) long when fully grown. Many fossils of Indobatrachus have been found in Mumbai, but they are not in great condition. These fossils were first studied by a scientist named Richard Owen.

There is some debate among scientists about where this frog fits in the family tree of animals. Some thought it was closely related to frogs from Australia. Another idea is that it may have been related to an ancient group of frogs called Sooglossoidea, which might have lived on a piece of land called Insular India millions of years ago.
