Cool short video about unique Archey's Frog - eviltoast

Was just talking about how cool New Zealand’s rare frogs are and wanted to share. These frogs evolved to have no ears, so they also have no croaking noises (what’s the point if the mates you are trying to attract are deaf) which is unique!

NB: There probably is a bit of “political” content insofar as some of the people are talking about threats to the frog and opposing its habatat destruction but I think this still belongs in general?

    Omg that thumbnail is why creators should never let youtube generate a thumbnail for them.

        Ikr, it’s about these cool looking frogs, but looks like a vlog from a random guy!

    So cool! Interesting they talk about new technology to tell two frog species apart, then go on to say some obvious differences easily seen.
