 New Frog Species Discovered in Western Ghats

Scientists and forest officials have identified a new amphibian species, the Kali Night Frog, in the Kali Tiger Reserve within the Western Ghats.

This elusive frog closely resembles another species in appearance but is genetically distinct and has unique acoustic calls, setting it apart scientifically.

The discovery highlights the rich biodiversity of the Western Ghats and underscores the urgent need to protect fragile stream ecosystems, which are increasingly threatened by climate change and habitat loss.
