Finally, we know where the R.O.U.S.s* are hiding!

A volcano crater in Papua New Guinea! We're talking over 40 new species. I want to see the fanged frog! (There's a slide show worth seeing, but no fanged frogs.)

I was so disappointed that there were no fanged frogs. Giant Rat of Sumatra, check. But--frog fangs! Wah!

Maybe as the story gets picked up, we can see the fanged frogs? I wonder if BBC America will have this?
