“A frog species last seen in 1922 was found again in Ecuador’s southern Andes during a 2022 research expedition to the Quitahuaycu Conservation Reserve. The team of biologists confirmed the rediscovery with genetic analysis.

The Molleturo robber frog (Pristimantis ruidus) classified as ‘possibly extinct’ for several decades, remained elusive due to its small size, under 3 centimeters (1 inch), allowing it to hide in the dense vegetation of the Andean Molleturo Forest in Azuay province.”
