A team of scientists including Delhi University researchers discovered a new species of 'paddy frog' in Assam. The frog 'Micryletta aishani' was named after the Sanskrit word 'aishani', meaning northeast, in reference to Northeast India. Researchers revealed the new frog is reddish-brown in colour and measures about 2.2-2.8 cm in length and has an absence of web on its feet.
