A group of scientists discovered three new species of tiny frogs in the Manu Natural Reserve and in other highlands in Cusco, according to a report from EFE.
"All these species are very timid and cautious, they live hiding under the leaves or, if they live in the highlands, under stones and among the lichens,” said Alessandro Catenazzi, researcher from the University of California (US).
The new species include Bryophryne hanssaueri, found in the higher area of Manu; Bryophryne zonalis, found in the valley of Marcapata; and Bryophryne gymnotis, found in Cusco.
Male and female Bryophryne hanssaueri and Bryophryne zonalis grow up until reaching 18cm and 24 cms respectively.
