A group of researchers from James Cook University and Harvard University has found three species, which have no record in the past.

They have found the species on the trip to the mountain range of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. One of the three species is a frog then second one is a leaf-tail gecko and last but not the least is a golden skink.

The researchers went on an expedition to northeast Australia's Cape Melville. They were of the view that researchers do have surveyed the base of Cape Mountains, but this place has largely remained unexplored.

"Finding three new, obviously distinct vertebrates would be surprising enough in somewhere poorly explored like New Guinea, let alone in Australia, a country we think we've explored pretty well", affirmed Conrad Hoskin from James Cook University.

In addition, researchers have found some other interesting species. Out of them, there are three species, which will get described in the journal Zootaxa.

When asked from Hoskin, he said the Cape Melville Leaf-Tailed Gecko was the star of the expedition. It is a lizard that can grow up to 20 centimetres and makes love in rain. Another attractive feature of the lizard is that it carries out hunting during night.
