Summary:
The young of two new species and
a genus of frog found to inhabit Sumatra's rainforests have developed a unique
ability to latch onto rocks in the fast-flowing rivers, using bellies crafted
by evolution into 'suction cups'. Herpetologists use their remarkable discovery
to highlight the unique biodiversity of the island, which is under imminent
threat due to rampant habitat modification and deforestation.
