Video of the Purple Frog

January 11th, 2009

Researcher Dr. Sathyabhama Das Biju and his team at the University of Delhi have been able to capture video footage of the newly-discovered purple frog.  This frog is rarely seen above ground, so capturing any footage of this frog is obviously quite difficult.

This is a funny frog.  As you will see in the footage, it has a tiny head, runs instead of hops, and sounds more like a dog than a frog.   In fact, it seems to look more like a penguin than a frog!

The purple frog was discovered in 2003 and is considered an endangered species.
