Biologists Found The First Lungless Frog

In Borneo, Indonesia biologists discovered a frog that can breathe in water without a pair of lungs. It is a frog that gets in its air only by its skin, no lungs are needed. I thought that was pretty weird that anything could live and breathe without a set of lungs. A Barbourula kalimantanensis is the type of frog this is. In 1978, a scientist actually came across this very same frog, but they did not think it was anything different so they did not dissect it at that time.
