Bagong diskubreng palaka

HAYUP SA GALING - Pang-masa

Kakaiba ang kakayahan ng bagong diskubreng palaka sa Cordillera del Cóndor, isang remote region ng Andes sa South Africa.

May extra spine kasi sa gilid ng mga kamay ang palakang ito na ginagamit nila panlaban sa mga banta sa kanilang buhay.

Maaaring makapunit ng balat ang matatalas na bahaging ito ng kanilang katawan.

Natagpuan ng study leader na si Santiago Ron, isang evolutionary biologist sa Catholic University of Ecuador at mga kasamahan ang Hyloscirtus hillisi sa kanilang two-week expedition sa Cordillera del Cóndor.

“We walked two days along a steep terrain. Then, between sweat and exhaustion, we arrived to the tabletop, where we found a dwarf forest,” sabi ng field biologist na si Alex Achig sa isang statement. “The frogs were difficult to find, because they blended with their background.”
