A chocolate frog. Around 2,000 new species of plants and fungi are found each year, according to RBG Kew. In the Peruvian Amazon, herpetologists followed a distinctive frog call to one of the rarest habitats in the Amazon peatlands. They found a new species: Synapturanus danta. The frog has been nicknamed the tapir frog for its distinctive-looking snout. Of course the frog was known to the locals but had yet to be described by science. mongabay.com Image: Germán Chávez.
