My favorite 😍 among all the 13 new species is the Pointy-nosed bush frog (Raorchestes nasuta).

Another fascinating group of organisms that shows greater diversity south of the #Brahmaputra river and lower diversity towards the colder #Himalayan mountains.

We named most of the species after the places where they are found. We believe that such names have conservation implications because they connect better with the local communities
