Seven newly discovered frog species live in the lush rainforests of Madagascar. These small amphibians make strange, high-pitched whistling sounds that sound a bit like the sound effects from Star Trek. The new species are named B. kirki, B. picardi, B. siskoi, B. janewayae, B. archeri, B. pikei, and B. burnhamae after seven of the sci-fi series’ captains and are described in a study published in the journal Vertebrate Zoology.
The seven newly discovered species are from the genus Boophis. They are found across Madagascar and communicate with other frogs with their whistling sounds. When the research team heard the calls, they immediately reminded them of the sound effects used across the various Star Trek series.
