Frogs
Researchers at the University of Kansas have uncovered a long-standing error in the classification of a poison frog species from Peru. The frog, originally described in 1999 based on a photograph, was linked to the wrong preserved specimen, leading to its misidentification for over two decades. The correction reclassifies it as a variant of an existing species.

Researchers have discovered that pond frogs can consume highly venomous hornets without apparent harm, even after multiple stings. This resilience, observed in controlled experiments, highlights the frogs' tolerance to potent insect toxins. The findings could aid studies on venom resistance in animals.
