Did someone say "fanged frogs"? Despite their name, they're not the stuff of vampire novels. But the newest species of fanged frogs weren't discovered in a rainforest. They were discovered in a test tube, by sifting through their DNA. A new study explores what that means during a period when amphibian numbers worldwide are in desperate decline.
