New frog species discovered in New York City.

Okay, so it has been seen before, but not ID-ed until recently.

Story.

Amazed biologists have uncovered a new species of frog in the jungle -- New York's concrete jungle.

The mottled green creature was for years mistaken as belonging to a widespread variety of the leopard frog. But now scientists realize this is new.

"For a new species to go unrecognized in this area is amazing," UCLA biologist Brad Shaffer said Wednesday.

New York is surrounded by wetlands and other nature-filled areas. But this latest urban creature appears to have chosen one of the grittiest corners as the center of its habitat: Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.

Another version of the article locates them in Staten Island which isn't too urban. I see deer there, they swim over from NJ.

Deer swim? That's pretty cool, I had no idea!
