An amphibious mouse with webbed feet and a blob-headed fish are among 27 new species scientists have discovered in Peru.

Sindle, less than 5 feet tall with curly blond hair, was born with a birth defect, toes that were partly fused together, giving her feet a webbed appearance.

They had webbed toes that splayed out as they sank into the sand and kept them from plunging under.

Back in the forest, a Wallace’s flying frog sprang from a tree—its spindly legs and webbed toes spread-eagle—seeming more bat than amphibian.

Their feet are adapted for powerful swimming, with every toe webbed.
