This creature, a rainbow toad, had not been seen for 87 years until scientists found and photographed it recently in a remote forest in Borneo, then announced their find July 13. Researchers had only some illustrations to indicate the creature ever existed.
"When I saw an email with the subject 'Ansonia latidisca found' pop into my inbox I could barely believe my eyes," said Robin Moore of Conservation International, adding that an attached image proved the unbelievable finding. "The species was transformed in my mind from a black and white illustration to a living, colorful creature."
