Today we at @googlefactss present to you: Alytes muletensis — the Majorcan midwife toad. First only known from fossils in 1977 and presumed extinct, live individuals were found in Mallorca three years later. This tiny endemic lives only in Tramuntana mountain streams, where males carry and keep the eggs moist on their backs until they hatch. 🐸🌿 [Source] @googlefactss #conservation#biodiversity#LazarusSpecies
