15mm frogs among 7 new species found in Western Ghat forests
A new nocturnal species of frog, measuring between 12.2mm and 15.4mm, along with six other new species, has been discovered in the forests of the Western Ghats. The discovery has reportedly made the Western Ghats the second-largest global amphibian hotspot after Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. The frogs, known to make cricket-like sounds, had been overlooked due to their extremely small size.
