Would You Kiss a Purple Frog?
Ask, Mar 2004
In the wilds of India scientists have discovered a rare and unusual frog. To start with, it's purple. But even more amazing, it's unlike any other frog alive today. Its closest living relatives (which aren't purple and don't have pointy noses) are found on the Seychelle Islands, 1,900 miles away. Their common ancestor lived 130 million years ago, in the time of the dinosaurs.
Scientists think that the purple frogs may have been separated from the rest of the frog family as the continents drifted apart over the earth's history. The little frog has been called a "living fossil" that scientists hope will help them learn more about how modern amphibians evolved.
