A Las Vegas native thought to have been extinct for decades is alive and living in Arizona.
The Vegas Valley leopard frog was last seen in 1942, and officially declared extinct in 1996. The development of the city of Las Vegas is thought to have been the main factor in the species’ demise.
Now researchers report in Conservation Genetics that the frog is genetically identical to a lineage of the Chiricahua leopard frog found in the Mogollon Rim of central Arizona.
There are more than a dozen species of leopard frogs in North America, all characterized by dark spots on their bodies and difficult to distinguish from one another. (via The Vegas Valley Leopard Frog Is Endangered, but No Longer Extinct - NYTimes.com)

Automatic Tattoo Machine of the Day: We’ve seen homemade self-tattooing devices before, but Chris Eckert’s Auto Ink is slicker, and significantly more dystopian:
Auto Ink is a three axis numerically controlled sculpture. Once the main switch is triggered, the operator is assigned a religion and it’s corresponding symbol is tattooed onto the person’s arm. The operator does not have control over the assigned symbol. It is assigned either randomly or through divine intervention, depending on your personal beliefs.
