For decades,scientists thought the Tandayapa Andean toad (蟾蜍) was extinct. But a group of researchers recently came upon two living Tandayapa Andean toads in the foggy forests of Ecuador (South America) .
The rare,tiny brown toad was first discovered in 1970 in the Tandayapa Valley,located in Pichincha province in the northern part of Ecuador.
After finding one toad,biologists spent weeks looking for more. But they did not find any,and the toad was declared extinct almost as soon as it was discovered.
More than 40 years later,a team of scientists found not one,but two toads similar to the Tandayapa Andean. But these toads were not found in the same place. Instead,scientists found the twosome in the foggy forests of the neighboring Imbabura province.
“At first sight I couldn’t identify the species 一 it wasn't even on my radar (雷达) , since they hadn’t been seen in …years ,” Ryan Lynch,the lead scientist,told National Geographic. aBut I knew that it was something very rare."
On a return trip,biologists found many more specimens of the brown toad in the same area. Experts have declared that the species is not at all extinct.
The Tandayapa toad develops differently from other toads. Most toad babies start life as tadpoles,which have gills (鳃) and live in water. But Tandayapa toad babies,called toadlets,develop on land. These toadlets skip the tadpole stage entirely.
The Tandayapa's appearance is strange too. As toadlets,they are covered in patterns of copper and gold,with snaking white lines on their bellies. This pattern gets darker as the toads grow. By the time they become adults,they appear completely brown without a pattern and have white bumps (凸起) on their sides. Typical toads don't experience such extreme color and pattern changes.
Although scientists are excited about the reappearance of the Tandayapa toad,they still worry about the species' survival. Humans have been clearing much of the. forest where the toads live.
However,environmental groups are working to get these forest areas protected. Many hope that the rediscovery of the tiny brown Tandayapa toad may help make their case.
