Hyla is a genus of tree frogs in the family Hylidae. Over the years, scientists have changed their minds about which frog species should be in "Hyla" and which should be in "Litoria", "Ranoidea" or other genera. At one time, "Hyla" had more than 300 species from Europe, Asia, Africa, and across the Americas. Now, "Hyla" has only 17 extant (living) species. They are from Europe, northern Africa and Asia. The earliest known fossil from a "Hyla" frog is †"Hyla swanstoni" from the Eocene. The fossil was found in Saskatchewan, Canada, but it is not clear whether we would consider "swanstoni" a "Hyla" frog today.
Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti made the genus in 1768. He named it after Hylas from Greek mythology. Hylas was a friend of Hercules. Even though the mythological person Hylas was male, the name "Hyla" is given the feminine grammatical gender.
Some people say this word comes from the Greek word ("", "forest" or "wood"), but it does not.
In most "Hyla" frogs, the male frogs sing, and then the female frogs choose which male to mate with based on their songs. But females from different species like different things about male frogs' voices. Female "H. versicolor", for example, choose males whose calls last longer. Female "H. arborea" choose males who show up to sing in the same place for many nights.
In some "Hyla" frogs, the male frogs fight and compete. Male "H. versicolor" frogs show up where the females like to go. This behavior, called lekking, is common in many species of "Hyla". In order to sing clearly, the males need to be a certain distance apart from each other. When one male gets too close to another male's singing place, the two males may fight or do something else that is like fighting. Male "H. versicolor" sometimes show off to each other before they fight, so they can see whether they are likely to win first.
Indirect selection is when one partner chooses a mate based on just one thing that is related to how fit and healthy the mate is all together. "H. arborea" is a frog that is awake at night, and the females listen to the males sing and then choose one, so the frogs must be able to hear well. These frogs can also see well in low light. This ability to see may be related to how females choose males. Scientists say female "H. arborea" choose males with more brightly colored vocal sacs. They think colorful vocal sacs may show that the frog has enough carotenoids in the food it eats. This may mean the male frog is better at finding food than other frogs, and he might pass on some of this skill to his offspring.

Solar eclipse of December 14, 2020
A total solar eclipse occured on Monday, December 14, 2020. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, which will cover the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality happens in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.
The Moon’s apparent diameter was larger because the eclipse occured only 1.8 days after perigee, the point at which the Moon is closest to the Earth (on December 12, 2020).
It was visible from Chile and Argentina. There was also a partial solar eclipse in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

Timnasa captured Sarvakaal, a monstrous but righteous sage of the Dark Realm, as he knows the one who'll kill Timnasa.
Baalveer acknowledges this and pretends to lose his powers and memory and stays as a commoner with Vivaan and family, as his foster brother Debu. He acquires a new avatar- Naqabposh. He befriends Ananya, a girl who was tricked by Timnasa into doing her work (by threatening to kill her mother). Her mother is saved by Naqabposh.

Baalveer is told a story in which a man of Brave Realm, named Jaikas turned evil and was running with his two small sons. He was attacked and one son was dropped in a desert while his vehicle landed in sea. It is revealed that he survived and his other son is the one Bambaal is waiting for. When he comes out of the egg, he is named Ray by Bambaal.
Baalveer wants to know about his past from Shaurya and Baalpari, his mother. He is made Baalveer again in Vivaan's presence (to conceal Naqabposh's secret).
Ray needs the blood of a powerful entity to unleash his powers and to destroy a poison. On Earth, they get to know that the entity is Vivaan. Ananya thinks that Ray is Naqabposh.Also the blood of the Vivaan is given to Ray by Milsa but it doesn't affect the broken arm
Baalveers capture Milsa but Bambaal secretly kills her. They are soon helped by Birba, Bambaal's loyalist. Baalveer tells Vivan his truth, about him being Baalveer and Naquabposh, leaving him shocked. Bambaal finds out that Debu is the other Baalveer.
