Israeli park ranger Yoram Malka caught only a fleeting glimpse of the frog as it leapt across the road, but he knew it was something special.
When he first saw the frog in northern Israel's Hula Valley, Malka jerked his utility vehicle to a stop, bounded out of his seat, and jumped atop it, catching the creature in his hands.
The animal had a mottled backside and a black belly with white dots. It belonged to a species that most scientists thought had disappeared from the Earth more than half a century ago.
In fact, the Hula painted frog was the first amphibian to officially be declared extinct, in 1996. Prior to Malka's 2011 encounter, the animal had not been spotted alive in nearly 60 years.

Who on Earth is Frog Long?
No truth to the rumor that he's related to frog splat
Must be one of those Chinese philosophers I studied in college; too bad I slept through that class.
I’m sure I’ve had a bottle or two of that vintage; usually in restaurants where it’s all referred to as “house red.”
After a bottle of that...philosophy will make sense.
There was once a man with no guilt
who “SOMEHOW” became a poet,
and every time he’d think about it
he’d grin like a garter snake in a strip joint.
After a bottle of that, EVERYTHING makes sense.
Uh... even that limerick.
Frog Long With an Attitude
What kind of mindless garbage is this post? Don’t appreciate your mocking what constitutes kosher. Either your IQ is in the negative numbers or you were ingesting something which inhibits brain activity while typing.
RE: My IQ - there are those who thought my tests to be rather on the high side. But, that was merely the considered professional opinion of a past President of the American Psychological Association.
As for my “mocking what constitutes kosher”, may I suggest post post 21?
PS While “blond butchers” might (kinda, sorta, maybe) be considered a mockery of “kashrut”, it is fair to note that my use of a unicorn is recognizable to many as reference to Obama, The Immaculated Won.
As the blind monk said to “Brill Crinton”, “Things are not always as they seem, Grass Smoker”.
Think “irony”, or perhaps “satire”
