Hey, [livejournal.com profile] cadhla! Look! Froggies!

Purple frog delights scientists

The chubby, seven-centimetre-long, purple amphibian with a pointy snout was found hopping around in the Western Ghats, a range of hills in western India. Scientists have given it the name Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis, from the Sanskrit word for nose (nasika); batrachus, meaning frog; and Sahyadri, the name for its mountain home. Its head appears too small for its body and it looks more like a squat, grumpy blob than a living creature. . .


Honestly, it looks like something out of a Japanese cartoon about small spunky children who spend far too much time with incredibly diverse monsters.
