The frog is cool and all, but until they discover a unicorn and sasquatch, I don't really care.

The ecological adaption of species to their environment is one of the most mind boggling and awesome responses of life to biotic and abiotic factors.What's sad is remarkable creatures, like this frog particularly, are losing habitat rapidly as amphibians are especially sensitive to climate change andair/water pollution.
Because frogs are such sensitive harbingers of pollution and other environmental damage, they are generally the first species to go extinct in a region, andthe world is rapidly losing its frogs. In South America the golden frog, which has evolved extra large hands as they wave to one another rather than croak dueto a waterfall enviornment, is the most recent extinction. Thousands of other frog species are threatened, and many have gone extinct, due to invasive fungi inLatin America and sediment/toxic pollution in the Amazon and other waterways frogs use for habitat.
While cases like this lungless frog make headlines, what should be more in focus is the potential that we will not be able to discover rare, and possiblybeneficial to science, frogs in a future where pollution and climate change have run rampant.
