Researchers in Indonesia recently discovered this unknown species of long-nosed frog. It is one of many new animal species they've found in the Foja Mountains of New Guinea. From The Telegraph:
"We were sitting around eating lunch," recalled ornithologist Chris Milensky. (His colleague Pual) Oliver "looked down and there's this little frog on a rice sack, and he managed to grab the thing."

"Herpetologists [experts in snakes, lizards and frogs] have good reflexes," Mr Milensky observed.
