New Frog Species Discovered
Not enough people realize the dangers posed by frogs. For years people have stuffed firecrackers in their mouthes, used them as bait, and sliced them apart in biology classes.
Too bad they never accidentally picked up these little fellows with their bare hands: Poison Arrow Dart Frogs.
The toxins secreted from the backs of these animals can kill a man and Blakk Frogg thinks death might leave a lasting impression on those cruel bastards. Leave my cousins alone, you heartless pricks!
According to an article published on Yahoo (read the full article), scientists in Venezuela recently discovered a cavern (Cueva del Fantasma) created by a collapsed gorge large enough to safely allow two helicopters to land simultaneously.
Inside the cave they identified a number of new species including this awesome looking critter now known as Colostethus breweri.
OK, time for Blakk Frogg to speak. Love the frog. Definitely a gorgeous (and deadly!) species worth admiring... but how the hell did a topographical feature of that magnitude go undiscovered for all this time? I mean, look at that thing! No one saw it from the air before now?
We can do all sorts of nifty things with radar, zoom in on a satellite image of a housing development and overlay roadmaps using Google's new free mapping tool but we didn't know about this gaping hole in the Earth? Hmmm.... Seems highly improbable and Blakk Frogg thinks somebody's full of shit.
