Bird-eating frog discovered

New to science: a bird-eating fog.

With the world population approaching 7 billion, you’d think us humans would have found by now just about every land-based life-form bigger than say, your average insect – but not so it seems. 

In the Greater Mekong region of Southeast Asia, a new bird-eating frog has been discovered, along with several other interesting species, such as a leopard striped gecko, a tube nosed bat and a bird called the Nonggang babbler.

This news comes on top of a recent BBC expedition - and subsequent TV programme called Lost Land of the Volcano - to Papua New Guinea, which found newly identified species like rats as big as cats and tree-climbing teddy bear-like marsupials.

The world is indeed stranger than we thought!
