11. Private Purple Frog
In the dense forests of the Periyar region of India, an elusive creature named the purple frog resides. This donut-shaped amphibian spends most of its life underground, emerging only for a few hours each year to breed. Its distinctive appearance and unique mating call, resembling that of a lost chicken, have captivated researchers since its discovery in 2003. Witnessing the purple frog’s rare appearance during mating season is a true privilege.
