In pictures: Tanzania’s toad haul

This toad from the Nectophrynoides genus is one of 15 amphibian species in Tanzania that have been described for the first time. They were found during research led by UK conservation charity Frontier.

Note from EcoSnake - What is so profound and scary is that because of climate and other changes, many species may become extinct, even before we humans “discover” them…
