		Purple frog among 24 new species found in Suriname
		WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A purple fluorescent frog is one of 24 new species found in the South American highlands of Suriname, conservationists reported on Monday, warning that these creatures are threatened by illegal gold mining.
		The two-tone frog -- whose skin is covered with irregular fluorescent lavender loops on a background of aubergine -- was discovered in 2006 as part of a survey of Suriname's Nassau plateau, the conservation group said.

		The chubby, seven-centimetre-long, purple amphibian with a pointy snout was found hopping around in the Western Ghats, a range of hills in western India.
		There are only 29 families of frogs, encompassing approximately 4,800 known species, and almost all were discovered in the 18th and 19th centuries.
		Also, "this frog lives underground and it only comes out during the monsoon, about just two weeks per year, and then it is gone again," he said.

		The frog, it turned out, was a member of a totally unknown species of a totally unknown genus of a totally unknown family of frogs -- until now an undiscovered member of a wider tribe of "advanced frogs" that are known to number more than 4,800 species.
		Nasika is Sanskrit for nose; batrachus means frog, and the species name, sahydrensis, refers to the Western Ghats, the hills along India's west coast where the frog lives, Biju explained.

		The frog certainly looks far fetched--it's a purple creature with a round body, tiny head and eyes and a little whitish snout, and it only grows to only a few inches long.
		It has been found to be related to another family of frogs, Sooglossidae, that currently live in the Seychelles Islands, thousands of miles away in the Indian Ocean.
		The scientists who discovered the frog, a Belgian named Franky Bossuyt and an Indian scientist named S.D. Biju, published a report on the frog in the journal Nature.

		Indeed, in evolutionary terms, it is of royal lineage, being the very last representative of the kinds of frogs that hopped around the feet of the dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period, more than 65 million years ago.
		These are a small, clannish family of frogs that live across the Indian Ocean, in the Seychelles.
		The genetic resemblance, they said, supports the theory that, millions of years of ago, the ancestor of both frogs lived on Gondwana, a "supercontinent" in which all of the Earth's continents formed a single landmass.

		The frog spends most of the year underground, surfacing only for about two weeks, during the monsoon, for purposes of mating.
		The frog is dark purple in color, seven centimeters in length, and has a small head and a pointy snout.
		The frog forms a living fossil and was initially assigned to a new family of its own, Nasikabatrachidae, but has been more recently assigned to the family Sooglossidae

		The Western Ghats Mountains of India, where the frog was found, is known for being home to unusual species found nowhere else.
		Scientists said they are particularly excited to find these so-called "living fossils," as it gives them an opportunity to study a real animal in place of partially preserved fossil remains.

		Frogs are known for their three-chambered heart, in which oxygenated blood from the lungs and de-oxygenated blood from the respiring tissues enters by separate atria, and is directed via a spiral valve to the appropriate vessel—aorta for oxygenated blood and pulmonary vein for deoxygenated blood.
