purple frog discovered in India...

Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis is its name.

I just love frogs.

This little guy is quite reclusive and spends 50 weeks of the year underground in a burrow, emerging only to breed during monsoon season.

and he is purple!

the best part is that his species dates back 100 million years! now that is an old frog!

other frog species have been suffering a lot lately because of the hole in the ozone layer, and many are disappearing altogether.

but this guy has the survival advantage of spending most of its life underground. no wonder he's outlasted nearly every other living creature on the planet!

yet another reason why frogs are the coolest creatures around.
