16. CHEATER!!! (And a link to the article)
Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 06:50 PM by Finnfan
http://www.livescience.com/animals/080407-lungless-frog.html

The first lungless frog has been discovered lurking in the jungles of Borneo.

The enigmatic amphibian, dubbed Barbourula kalimantanensis, apparently gets all the oxygen it needs through its skin.

Scientists first saw one of these frogs 30 years ago, but due to their rarity, just one other specimen had been collected since then and neither had been dissected.

"No one thought to open them up — there was no real reason to believe that they could be lungless," said researcher David Bickford, an evolutionary biologist at the National University of Singapore. "Because these specimens were so rare, they had never been dissected. If you have just one specimen in your museum, you don't want to rip it open!"

And now, your peep show, courtesy of SarahBelle:

I saw the headline on Yahoo news today, and guessed that's what it was.

And that was NOT the peepshow I wanted! x(

18. The frog has no lungs.
Since I didn't cheat, like someone else, and I'm the first correct guess, do I get the "prize"?
