The species, Barbourula kalimantanensis, is so rare that until last year only two specimens were known to science and no herpetologist had seen it alive, says David Bickford of the National University of Singapore.
“It’s one of the most famous frogs in Borneo,” says Bickford. No one wanted to slice the frogs up for dissection, so no one had noticed the absence of lungs.”
