Amphibians Once Thought Extinct Rediscovered: Big Pics.
A group of amphibian specialists searching for “extinct” species returned this week with leap-in-the-air-worthy news: Three species that were previously believed likely to be extinct are, in fact, still alive.
The Omaniundu Reed Frog (top photo) from Democratic Republic of Congo, not seen since 1979; The Cave Splayfoot Salamander (middle photo), not seen since its discovery in 1941; and the Mount Nimba Reed Frog (bottom photo) from the Ivory Coast, not seen since 1967 were found during The Search for the Lost Frogs Campaign led by Conservation International.
