WASHINGTON (AP) – A tiny tree frog discovered in the Amazon has been named for Ozzy Osbourne.
National Geographic reports the creature nicknamed the “bat frog” has been named Dendropsophus ozzyi (den-DRUH’-suh-fus AH’-zee-eye).
It’s less than an inch long and has a shrill, batlike call.
Pedro Peloso, one of the frog’s discoverers, says they kept talking about the “bat frog” in the lab, which led to discussion about Osbourne and Black Sabbath.
