Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have discovered a new species of frog in Africa that has an unusual trait: it is completely silent.

Frog Characteristics

The Ukaguru spiny-throated reed frog does not croak, sing, or chirp. Found in the Ukaguru Mountains of Tanzania, for which it is named, Hyperolius ukaguruensis is one of the few frogs in the world that does not vocalize with other frogs.

The new species belongs to a group of “spiny-throated” reed frogs, which, true to their name, have small spines on the male’s throat. Since they cannot rely on sound to recognize members of their species, they may use spines instead.

“This is a very rare group of frogs,” says Lucinda Lawson, a conservation biologist and research associate professor at the University of Cincinnati.

“Male frogs don’t call like most other frogs. We think they can use the spine as something similar to Braille for species recognition,” Lawson said. “Without a call, they need some other way to recognize each other.”

This group of frogs only has a few species, which are found in small populations that make them rare and endangered. Finding a new member of this group is a huge victory for conservation, Lawson said.

The discovery was described in the journal PLOS ONE.

The program in the followingnoon revealed a shocking complaint by a man once morest Beatriz Olave, the mother of “El Potro” Rodrigo Bueno.

The cycle led by Karina Mazzocco aired Claudio Pardo, the complainant, who claimed to be the unrecognized brother of the deceased quartet singer.

In addition, he said that his mother worked with Beatriz and that she suffered a shocking event. “They tell my parents that a stillborn baby was born, but my mother had heard the baby cry,” said Pardo.

“My mother came from the countryside and was very ignorant, so they tell her not to see the baby because it would have a bad memory and they give up seeing it,” said the complainant, who pointed to Olave as a baby thief.

Pardo explained that, as time went by, his parents began to connect the dots. “Surprisingly, Beatríz moved away from them and my mother found out that she has a son the same age as the baby she had lost,” she said.

Finally, he confirmed that Olave had “stolen the baby”, which would be Rodrigo Bueno, from the health center where his mother gave birth. “Beatriz worked at the Santa Rosa clinic, where she worked at the time. He (Rodrigo) knew that he was not the son of his parents… he knew all the family history, ”she declared.

The word of Patricia Pacheco, ex-partner and mother of Rodrigo Bueno’s son

The AméricaTV program was looking for the word of Patricia Pacheco, Rodrigo Bueno’s last girlfriend, with whom he also had a son, Ramiro.

When asked if she ever saw a photo of Beatriz pregnant, Patricia said: “No, I haven’t seen photos of Beatriz. She did not share those kinds of situations with me. I know that she had a very intense relationship with Rodrigo’s father.”

Later, the journalist told him that Pardo did it for a matter of blood and not for something economic, and that he might demand a DNA test with Ramiro to find out the truth. “At this point, the only thing I can tell you is that I am only going to dedicate myself to having respect. With regard to DNA, at the time, Ramiro, Rodrigo and I took a test and the samples are in the genetic bank of the Durand hospital”, Pacheco concluded.
