Nice orange frog!

I received very interesting link from one friend collector and I thought I would share it with you here. It's not exactly new species but newly observed behaviour (very cute!!!)

Nice frog and fantastic genet rider. I wonder if the genet tried ever to ride a croc?

That is fantastic
And a bit scary : Imagine how many species we find, that science has not yet described, while species are going extinct...there may be animals that die out this day, and we never knew it

a new mammal discovered - a giant rat

Amazing that such a big animal can still be "found"

Isn't is spooky that it may soon become extinct ? It could easily have gone without science discovering it at all

I hope that they give it a sanctuary, - it looks like a beautyful critter .

Thankyou for the link, Andreas
