The Jaragua Sphaero (Sphaerodactylus ariasae), discovered in 2001, is the world's smallest reptile, measuring only about 16mm from snout to vent. It is found in the Jaragua National Park in the Dominican Republic and Isla Beata. The speckled padloper is a small tortoise, Cuvier's dwarf caiman is a small crocodilian, and the Brazilian gold lizard is also small but not the smallest.
