it has taken years for these scientits to find what they were looking for. looking under rocks and flashing flashlights whenever they here a croak. happily the have found them now though. well its paid off for they have found 12 new frog species and 3 frog species that were thought extinct. its really hard for these scientists to get funding to protect these frogs since india is focusing on elephants and tigers to protect.
"Frogs are extremely important indicators not just of climate change, but also pollutants in the environment," said the project's lead scientist, biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju of the University of Delhi.
these frogs are also extremeley hard to find. they are night frogs. there are 3 reasons why night frogs are hard to find: one: they live on moist forest ground
two:they can also live in fast streams
three: they come out only at dark and during the monsoon season
and here are some of the cute frogs:
the meowing night frog, whose croak sounds more like a cat's call, the jog night frog, unique in that both the males and females watch over the eggs, and the Wayanad night frog, which grows to about the size of a baseball or cricket ball.
im glad i read this article. it was cute and slightly funny.
