PARIS: So now we know that we have a Kermit like frog in real. It is found in the Costa Rican rainforest. Brian Kubicki has been studying amphibians in Costa Rica for around 17 years. He dedicated thousands of hours to fieldwork in the country’s tropical rainforests but he didnt expect that he would discover a celebrity frog in the process.
“The advertisement call that the males of this species produce are very unique, no other known species of frog has a similar call, and this was indeed one of the traits that we used for the justification of it being a completely new species,” he said. “it could have played a role in its going undetected prior.”
The frog was found in poorly studies sites that has usually irregular activity. It made very difficult to find it earlier as researchers always missed it on the nights they went on looking.
“This new species was described from six specimens collected at three different sites along the Caribbean slopes of Costa Rica between 400 to 900 meters above sea level,” officials at the research center recently wrote in a press release.
