New Amphibian Species Reveals Late Triassic Climate Adaptation
Paleontologists discovered a new amphibian species, "Ninumbahan dukuduka," in a Late Triassic fossil bed. The 30cm long amphibian survived extreme weather by burrowing near rivers, and older individuals slowed their metabolism. The name honors Shoshone creation stories.
