Sweet new discovery - a new species of 'chocolate' frog (Litoria mira)

What’s a little surprising about this discovery is that the well-known and common green tree frog of Australia has a long-overlooked relative living in the lowland rainforests of New Guinea.

Because of this we named the new frog Litoria mira because the word Mira means surprised or strange in Latin.

“Because the frog lives in very hot, swampy areas with lots of crocodiles, all these things discourage exploration,” Dr Richards said.
