A rare species of frog which startles predators by flashing its bright orange groin has been discovered in swampland on Australia's east coast.
Not much bigger than a human fingertip, Mahony's Toadlet has a distinctive marbled underbelly.
The species was discovered by accident not far from the airport at Newcastle, 160km (100 miles) north of Sydney.
The tiny amphibian has been named after Professor Michael Mahony, a renowned frog expert and conservationist.read more and see video
