The Hula frog has no relationship alive, Braunschweig Technical University said last week. The experts from the university along with Israeli and French scientists are in an international team found a frog in Israel.
They reported finding in the scientific journal Nature Communications. Frogs were first discovered in the 1940s to live quietly in the Hula Valley in northern Israel.
The last time the Hula frog (Latonia nigriventer) looks back in 1955 - and in 1996 a conservation commission reported that their habitat has been largely destroyed by agricultural development.
Massive efforts have been made since 1996 to restore and revitalize the area - near the border between Israel, Syria and Lebanon - and this seems to have led to a frog.
"This rediscovery has excited biologists around the world because it shows that conservation can pay off even in cases that seem most desperate," said Professor Miguel Vences, amphibian specialist at the Technical University Braunschweig.
Professor Sarig Gafny of Ruppin University in Israel added: "It is unbelieable that this species survived undiscovered amphibians in this area is being investigated over the last 60 years this frog Maybe Israel could be a trendsetter - perhaps other amphibians that we thought. Extinct had survived in other corners of the world.
