"Extinct" frog: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
The smart ones went into hiding
Israel's Hula painted frog had not been seen for nearly 60 years, but in 2011 one was found lurking in a patch of swampy undergrowth.
Tests have revealed that the frog belongs to a group of amphibians that died out 15,000 years ago.
What's next? Giant Sloths? Monster camels in Canada? Is there a secret genetics lab somewhere recreating extinct species?
Openize the thread. Other than zombie frogs, I'm burned out right now.
Update: Ever wonder how evolution made roosters junk vanish? Someone figured it out.
