The 'coelacanth of frogs' was discovered in 2003 in the Western Ghats Mountains of India .

It's thought to have emerged over 80 million years ago, but it wasn't until 2003 that it was formally identified.

The purple frog is in a new series of the same name, Tangled Worlds Asia .

It was filmed by the Asia team two years ago and is the subject of a new documentary.

Toads jump on and try and mate with purple frogs heading off to breed, says Patrick Evans .

Evans : "We have no idea what their lives are like underground, and that's something that's still out there to be figured out and documented" Evans: How they communicate with each other, how they find each other underground and how they sense whatever amount of rain it is that they think is exactly the right amount.
