It's amazing. We really do not know the extent of wildlife on this earth yet to be discovered.

Article Extract

"A new species of "brightly coloured frog" has been discovered in a remote peak in the southern part of India, scientists have told BBC News.

This reddish orange amphibian, spotted in the Eravaikulam National Park of the Western Ghats mountain range, has been named Raorchestes resplendens.

The scientists found the frog at an altitude of 2,698m above sea level on the Anaimudi peak."

It's almost extinct before they've even discovered it - what a shame, i hope they can do something to protect it. An intesting article SM thanks for posting.
