I Indien har man upptäckt en groda som mest lever under jord. Den ser ut som en felande länk i utvecklingen av grodor. Man får nog inte äta den, för den är nog fridlyst, om man hunnit detta.

Scientists have recently discovered a very strange breed of frog. It's a kind of "living fossil" whose great great grandparents lived during the time of the dinosaurs. The doughnut-shaped, purple frog was found in a "biodiversity hotspot" in the mountains of southern India. It is bloated and purple and has very tiny eyes. Look how small the head is.
