Researchers from various national and international organisations have identified and documented a previously unknown species of frog which has been thriving amidst the urban landscape of Bengaluru.
The researchers said that this discovery marks a significant milestone in biodiversity research and underscores the resilience of wildlife in unexpected urban ecosystems.
Named Sphaerotheca varshaabhu, attributed to its behaviour of coming out of burrows during the early showers, the newly unearthed amphibian exhibits distinctive characteristics that set it apart from known frog species.
