A new species of rain frog, discovered in the Panama jungle, has been named after Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.
The species has been named Pristimantis Gretthunberge, popularly known as Greta Thunberg's Rainfrog.
The frog was originally discovered in 2012 and was thought to be part of the already categorised Pristimantis family.
