Newly discovered animals

The upstream survey of the Nangaritza River in South America, which is isolated because of decades of conflict, helps scientists discover many new unknown animals of species such as poison frogs, salamanders and grasshoppers. .

During the recent expedition to the Ecuador - Peru border region in South America, scientists discovered 12 completely new species such as the poison frog Denbrobates.

The European short-winged elephant lives at 2 km above sea level in this area of ​​the Cordillera den Condor is another new species.

New animals of the largest size are lizards of Enyalioides.

Scientists who participated in the expedition came from Conservation International saying that this is also a new grasshopper.

This glass frog Hyalinobatrachium pellucidum is not new but is facing danger, due to a poisonous mushroom capable of destroying amphibians like frogs that have spread to the area.

New insects discovered during the expedition were Typophylium grasshoppers capable of clever camouflage.

This nocturnal salamander has never been known. The area of ​​the Cordillera den Condor where it lived has been in conflict for decades, so the scientific community cannot access research.

This small frog Pristimantic only 1.3 cm long newly discovered is very vulnerable. Today the Cordillera den Condor is now more peaceful, enabling scientists to study, helping it have a higher chance of survival.

Scientists like Jessica Deichmann spent several months in the upper reaches of the Nangaritza river basin, in the Cordillera den Condor region, which is geographically separate. This is one of the reasons why many animals here have never been known.
