“Shipworm” Normally It burrow through wood. But a species new to science eats rock

The people of Peru’s ​​Comunidad Nativa Tres Esquinas have long known about a tiny, burrowing frog with a long snout; one local name for it is rana danta, “tapir frog” for its resemblance to the large-nosed Amazonian mammal. But until now, this frog has remained elusive to biologists. Thanks to the help of local guides, an international team of researchers was able to find the frog and give it an official scientific name and description.

This type of skunk stands on its hands before blasting predators with its spray; also new: a great whale species that “hid in plain sight.”
