A #NewSpecies of tiny orange #frog discovered in #Brazil's cloud forests https://phys.org/news/2025-12-species-tiny-orange-frog-brazil.html paper: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0334746
"These tiny #frogs are striking, with a bright orange body and distinctive green and brown freckles. Between 8.9 and 13.4 mm, they are among the smallest four-legged #animals on Earth... Scientists identified this new species of #PumpkinToadlet by its unique advertisement call... It consists of groups of two short bursts of sound."

Often find #frogs in the water reservoir on top of my Greenstalk planter. This one had its own surfboard, Cowabunga dude.

The Alaskan wood frog freezes solid in winter with no heartbeat, no blood flow, or no breathing, and then thaws in spring alive as if nothing happened.

Once tadpoles lose lungs, they never get them back https://phys.org/news/2025-10-tadpoles-lungs.html https://academic.oup.com/evolut/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/evolut/qpaf192/8296690
"all #frogs have lungs, so #tadpoles retain the genetics to regain lungs when environmental pressures might favor having them but instead evolve alternate solutions... The lungless African red #toad lives in low oxygen waters, and while redeveloping lungs might seem like the obvious solution, these tadpoles have instead evolved a crest of vascularized skin on top of their heads"
