SUBJECT: NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED

Attention all scientists!

First, this is a reminder for all to be vigilant about the creatures we keep housed together, especially over long periods of time. While it may seem beneficial for resource management, there is always the chance that animals may behave differently when contained with other species. Obviously, this can potentially lead to disastrous results and should be approached with caution.

Second, as we are all aware, certain species will crossbreed when left in captivity with one another. More often than not, this simply leads to offspring that are genetically one species or the other. Up until now, we have only seen one case of true hybridization, in the Alsalto family.

However, upon returning from one of her latest expeditions, Iris Evada has discovered a new species as the result of housing two interbreedable species together. Dubbed Tonblekos, these amphibians are genetically and behaviorally dissimilar enough from their parent species to be considered something all their own. She immediately returned to the field, searching for evidence of these hybrids in the wild, and found a local colony not far from a remote estuary recently investigated by Agnes Schnani. Iris Evada is now preparing for a longer expedition to study this colony.

Since this species is so new, there is little information about them. Please do not hesitate to bring any information you learn to Iris Evada, as she has been compiling information about these creatures.
