New Species

By Chris L

In the Suriname’s rainforest located in Kingston, Jamaica international scientists found 6 frogs and 11 fish that are among 60 creatures that might be new species. The team, who discovered these species, studied freshwater resources during a 3-week expedition. The upper Palumeu River watershed is among the world’s most remote and unexplored rainforests. One of the new frogs that was discovered is a brown tree frog, dubbed the cocoa frog, and a poison dart frog that local people use for hunting. A colorful tetra fish, unusually pigmented catfish, and nine other types of fish after dragging their nets through the waterways.
