Extinct frog re-appears

A rare South American frog, thought to be extinct for nearly a decade, has been sighted by scientists in a remote area of Columbia.

The frog species, like many other amphibians, is susceptible for a fungus known as chytridiomycosis. Scientists hope that the discovery may mean that other species have also survived and even developed some resistance to the fungus.
