    1. it straight up looks, like it came out of someone’s imagination, the color combo of orange and blue dots with the small spikes?, awesome!

      EDIT:, but what got it extinct?, was it human action or is it something else?

    2. Although galaxy frogs were discovered in 1878, not much is known about them since they are difficult to find. Measuring between 2cm to 3.5cm, these frogs do not produce sounds. Scientists believe they use their spots to communicate.

      The Western Ghats (Sahyadri) are magical. They run along the western coast of India. The sheer amount of biodiversity is truly awesome.

    4. Man, the brighter the color in nature, the more dangerous it is, should’ve been called the black hole frog or something lol, but its name checks out
