Scientists from the University of Delhi and Harvard University have found five new species of mini horned frogs hiding out in India's eastern Himalayas.
One of them, Jingophrys tanogogo, is a snail-eater, the first time this has been seen in an Indian frog.
The discoveries were published on November 11, 2026, and add a lot to what we know about these unique amphibians.
Garg-led study urges Himalayan frog protection
This research (led by Dr. Sonali Garg over five years) shows how the Himalayas are a hotspot for frog evolution thanks to their wild geology and changing climate.
Local tribes played a big part too; one new species was even named after the Tanii tribe to honor their help.
The study calls for more research so these rare frogs (and their habitats) can be protected for the future.
