Check out these "new" frogs.



I'm kind of a big fan of biodiversity--so nothing is cooler to me than hearing about how new species keep being found, like over 200 "new" amphibians in Madagascar. I also really think frogs are cool. (I put "new" in quotation marks because they're only new to us--they've probably been around for awhile. We just didn't know about them.) It's also heartening to see so many varieties of amphibian, because we've known for awhile that they are very sensitive to the environment, and their population has been dwindling. That's why I hope Madagascar is able to keep their habitat relatively-unmolested.
