Pseudophilautus zimmeri is a frog. It lived in Sri Lanka. Scientists have seen it in exactly one place: Galle, where Sri Lanka's land meets the ocean.[2][3][1]

This frog is extinct. Every frog in this species is dead. Scientists believe that this is because human beings changed the places where the frog lived too much.[3]

One adult male frog was 31.6 mm long from nose to rear end.[3]
