An TNFG frog scout, probably followed back to the hide out by some prying eyed, DNA testing, environmentalist snoop, who is "scouring" the NF's once peaceful habitat; and discovers The Night Frog Group [TNFG] aka Genus Nyctibatrachus [for you stupid people]. The discovered group is invaded upon and found to have taken in fleeing members of their owns species. Those NFs had, up until this point; successfully remained in the dark; out of the environmentalist's sight and mind; classified as "dead". Even after having taken on the deceptive vocal utterance of cats to throw off their intruders; covers now blown! And what's more the invading environentalists, believe there are more out there to be discovered, captured, tested and protected from man.

Mug shots of the innocent TNFG, once living life free in India, now posted for the world, evil frog collectors; and yes, even Gordon Ramsay to see! ;)

That’s what happens when froggies go a-courtin’ to Miss Mousey and other species.

So you mean Diversity Isn’t Lost?

Thanks! I like frogs. We have these awful Cane Toads here (imported). They are toxic to pets and I think they eat the native frogs. I do away with them when I see them. My little intervention for the local ecosystem.

Ladies and gentlemen ... the Night Frog Group!
Lights up, guitar chord: “Jeremiah was a *ribit*”
Crowd roars .... lighters aloft

I thought Glowbull Warming and pollution was killing all the amphibians on earth?!?

Biology Prof’s have spent at least 30 years “inventing” “endangered species”!

They give students field credit for stomping through grids, documenting flora and fauna, and then pretending they’ve found a species or sub-species unique to that location.

The prof’s make this “data” available to any and every anti-growth, enviro-whacko group in the world.

It takes decades for opponents to disprove these claims, and it makes the endeavor untimely and uneconomical.

If they become extinct, it's probably their own fault.

I’m sure Andrew Zimmern is on his way to the region to report on how these species taste.

Animal discoveries, however, often come with serious concern, since many of these species are few and far between and are desperately needing conservation help

So, last week we didn't know they even existed. Today we need new laws to protect them. Amazing.
