By Rebecca Morelle Science reporter, BBC World
Service
A species of frog that was recently rediscovered after
being declared extinct has been reclassified as a "living fossil" .Israel's
Hula painted frog had not been seen for nearly 60 years, but in 2011 one was
found lurking in a patch of swampy undergrowth. Tests have revealed that the
frog belongs to a group of amphibians that died out 15,000 years ago.

Every time something like this is discovered it raises hopes for cryptozoology. A cryptid may be the next living fossil discovered.
