Researchers at the University of Illinois are surprised to see that a concave ear frog that dwells in China's torrents is communicated by ultrasound as bats, marine mammals and some rodents.
It is the first time they see this way of communicating in an animal that is not the mammal, but it cannot be denied that for the frog it is absolutely convenient to be able to do so, since otherwise it would have difficulties to overcome the sound of the water of the torrents.
It also has an adequate ear for the collection of ultrasound, since it carries it inside. Hence his name, of course. Its scientific name, Amolops tormotus, has been published in the scientific journal Nature.
