      The Foja Mountains, classified as a national   wildlife sanctuary, are in the Indonesian province of Papua on the island of New Guinea and encompass more than 300,000 hectares of pristine rainforest.
   
     Found by Dr. Kristofer Helgen, a zoologist of  the Smithsonian Institution, this tiny forest wallaby is believed to be the smallest member of the kangaroo family documented in the world. This tiny dweller of Fuja Mountains is also discovered on the expedition which revealed the beauty of "Pinocchio Frog".
