The cave squeaker is back.

Researchers in Zimbabwe say they have found a rare frog that hasn’t been seen in decades.

The Artholeptis troglodytes, also known as the “cave squeaker” because of its preferred habitat, was discovered in 1962 but there were no reported sightings of the elusive amphibian after that. An international “red list” of threatened species tagged them as critically endangered and possibly extinct.
