A new species of frog, discovered in Panama, has been named after environmental activist Greta Thunberg. The species has been named Pristimantis gretathunbergae or the Greta Thunberg's Rainfrog. The frog was originally discovered in 2012 and thought to be part of an already categorised Pristimantis family but its recent DNA analysis confirmed it's a new species, scientific journal Zookeys stated.
