• A new frog species was recently discovered from the freshwater bodies of the western coastal plains of India.
• The frog had been scientifically named Euphlyctis Jaladhara with a common name “Jaladhara skittering frog”, suggestive of the frog’s habitat – a small body of water or reservoir.  Initially, it was first spotted in fresh water bodies around the Thattekad Bird Sanctuary in Ernakulam, and then multiple populations were identified all along the western coastal plains from Kerala to Gujarat.
