Introducing The "Pinocchio" Frog

In honor of the International Day of Biodiversity this week, Conservation International and the National Geographic Society announced several new species, discovered in Indonesian New Guinea, once called "the lost world." The new frog species, shown here, is said to be the "Pinocchio" of frogs because of its long nose that points upward when the male is calling but deflates and points downward when it's less active.
