Close New species of frog has been discovered in the Philippines and while it may look no different from other species in the nearby islands, its distinct mating call and differences in genome make it a fantastic find. In their study, "A New, Morphologically Cryptic Species of Fanged Frog, Genus Limnonectes (Amphibia: Anura: Dicroglossidae), from Mindoro Island, Central Philippines" in the journal Ichthyology & Herpetology, researchers from the University of Kansas described the fanged frog as a "cryptic species". This is because the frog was concealing itself from biologists for so many years, said KU Biodiversity Institute doctoral student Mark Herr, the study author in a Phys.Org feature.
