OOOOOOOO,,,,,,,A Purple Frog


Purple frog among 24 new species found in Suriname

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A purple fluorescent frog is one of 24 new species found in the South American highlands of Suriname, conservationists reported on Monday, warning that these creatures are threatened by illegal gold mining.

The two-tone frog -- whose skin is covered with irregular fluorescent lavender loops on a background of aubergine -- was discovered in 2006 as part of a survey of Suriname's Nassau plateau, the conservation group said.

( I hope the guy who discovered this was NOT tripping on Acid.......)
