"When the well was being dug, a demon appeared from the earth".
This proverb came to my mind when I read a story in Yahoo about a rare but beautiful frog(see below) that was discovered during an excavation for bauxite, the raw material used to make aluminum.
This frog has fluorescent purple markings on it's back.
Trivia for you to munch on:
About 80 percent of Suriname is covered with dense rain forest.
Thousands of Brazilians and Surinamese are believed to work in illegal gold mining, creating mercury pollution that has threatened the health of Amerindians and Maroons in Suriname's interior.
