A bizarre new species of frog with a 'tapir-like' nose for burrowing underground has been discovered in the Amazon rainforest thanks to its 'beeping' calls. The new species, found at the lower Putumayo basin in Loreto, Peru, has a long, curved-down snout, much like the tapir, the herbivorous Amazonian mammal. Christened Synapturanus danta, it has dark brownish-red skin, a 'blobby body' and measures just 0.7 of an inch (1.79cm).
