A recent scientific expedition in Colombia's mountainous Darien region has unearthed 10 new species of amphibians in what's being referred to as a safe haven for frogs located in the west of the country on the border with Panama. With amphibians under threat around the globe, the discovery was an encouraging sign and reason to protect the area where they were found. As you can see in these photos the new species discovered in Colombia include three poison frogs, three glass frogs, one harlequin frog, two kinds of rain frogs and one salamander.
With 754 amphibian species on record, Colombia has one of the most diverse amphibian populations on Earth, according to the nonprofit Conservation International, which conducted the survey.
