Tree Frog With Red Iris
A new species, announced January 2010, of rain frog crouches on a leaf in its forest home in Ecuador.
The frogs' lifestyle is so thoroughly arboreal that, instead of laying eggs in water, the frogs deposit their eggs in trees. And instead of hatching as tadpoles, the offspring emerge as miniature versions of their parents -- some not much larger than pinheads.
