Purple Frog that hopped with dinosaurs found!

[Analog]

Jimi Hendrix would have loved this frog.

(CNN) -- It's bright purple, bloated and scientists say it's been around since the dinosaurs.

Silly rabbit - there's no mention of that frog OR dinosaurs in the Bible, therefore they never existed!!

That is badass! I hope they aren't endangered..

It is sad to think of all the species we lose a day that will never even be discovered, mostly microorganisms.

How do they know it lived with dinosaurs? The evidence shown is very weak.

From the article it seems they only found one. I wonder if they can find it a mate?

Its closest relative is found in the Seychelles Archipelago, near Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. India and The Seychelles were once part of the same land mass, but separated 65 million years ago.

Not that weak to me.

You've got to be kidding me.
Hey, I've got some land in Arizona that you can buy. You can see the ocean from the front porch. I'll show you some photos if you want!
