UNIT 3
A “HOPPY” DISCOVERY A new frog species has been discovered in New York City 1. Usually, scientists search rainforests, ocean habitats, or other places on Earth to find new plant and animal species. So when a new type of frog was found hopping around New York, you could say scientists were very happy.
2. Three years ago, science student Feinberg trekked around New York listening for the sounds and collecting strange frogs. He shared his research with biologist Catherine E. Newman who was studying leopard frogs. She analyzed the code of the frog’s blood and compared the new frog’s blood structure with those of the leopard frogs. The frogs looked nearly identical, but their blood structure was very different.
3. Feinberg believes the frog also once lived in Manhattan, but its present habitat varies from the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey to northern counties of New York. It may even be living in parts of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The centre of the frog’s habitat seems to be Yankee Stadium. ___17___Feinberg hasn’t found any frogs living around the famous baseball field.
