I've decided to add a new feature to the blog called "Frogs of the Times"--the New York Times, that is. From time to time the paper of record decides to report on things herpetological.
This article was published almost exactly a year ago and recounts the discovery of a new species of frog on Staten Island. Yes, Staten Island. As the reporter explains, most species are discovered in remote and unpopulated areas, but not this time. The new frog had probably been seen and heard by thousands of people who didn't realize what they were looking at. The croak, as the article explains, gave it away.
