200 More Frog Species!
On the heels of the 10 new frog species discovered in Colombia, scientists have found approximately 200 new species of frogs in Madagascar. In fact, the recent discovery may not be the last, according to Professor David R. Vieites, CSIC researcher at the Spanish National Natural Sciences Museum in Madrid:
“the diversity of species in Madagascar is far from being known and there is still a lot of scientific research to be done. Our data suggest that the number of new species of amphibians not only has been underestimated but it is spatially widespread, even in well studied areas. For example, two of the most visited and studied National parks, Ranomafana and Mantadía/Analamazaotra, harbour 31 and 10 new species respectively.”
This exciting discovery includes some pretty cool new frogs.
