Atelopus Ebenoides
''Atelopus ebenoides'', the Huila stubfoot toad, a species of true toad, lives only in Colombia. A southern population lives in the southern Colombian Andes in the Cauca and Huila Departments. The northern population (called ''A. e. marinkellei'') may be a separate species and occurs only in the Boyacá Department Boyacá () is one of the thirty-two departments of Colombia, and the remnant of Boyacá State, one of the original nine states of the "United States of Colombia". Boyacá is centrally located within Colombia, almost entirely within the moun ..., in the Cordillera Oriental. The species' population has probably experienced a huge decline due to chytridiomycosis. The southern species has not been recorded since 1992, although no detailed searches have been attempted. The northern population was unrecorded from 1995, despite some searching, until it was spotted again in 2006. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Discoglossus Pictus
The Mediterranean painted frog or simply painted frog (''Discoglossus pictus'') is a species of frog in the family Alytidae (formerly Discoglossidae). Distribution ''Discoglossus pictus'' is found Mediterranean Africa in northeast Morocco, northern Algeria, and Tunisia, in the islands of Sicily (Italy) and Malta; introduced populations exist in northeastern Spain and southwestern France. ''Discoglossus scovazzi'' from Morocco was previously considered a subspecies of ''D. pictus''. Initially, only the former was thought to occur in Morocco, but later research has shown that also ''D. pictus'' is present there. Description As the common name implies, these frogs can have colorful markings. Three pattern variations occur in this species - almost uniformly colored animals, animals with large, dark spots with bright edges, and animals with two dark brown longitudinal bands, one bright band along the back, and two bright bands along the sides. The belly is whitish. The body is stout ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neobatrachus Pictus
The painted burrowing frog (''Neobatrachus pictus'') is a species of burrowing frog native to western Victoria, eastern South Australia and southern New South Wales. They are also one of six species of frog which inhabit Kangaroo Island. Description The painted burrowing frog is a moderate sized plump frog, reaching 55 mm in length. It is grey to yellow above with brown, olive or green patches. There is sometimes a thin, paler stripe running down the back. The belly is white. The rear toes are partially webbed and the metatarsal tubercles (shovel like structures on the heel of the foot to assist with burrowing) are completely black. The pupil is a vertical slit when contracted, and the iris is silver to gold. Ecology and behaviour Painted burrowing frogs inhabit waterholes, dams or pools of watercourses in woodland, grassland, and cleared areas. Males make an elongated trilling sound while floating in water after heavy rains, mainly in winter and autumn. Like other ''Neoba ...

Neobatrachus Sudelli
The Sudell's frog, painted burrowing frog (''Neobatrachus sudellae''), trilling frog or desert trilling frog (formerly ''Neobatrachus centralis'') is a species of burrowing frog common to a large part of southeastern Australia. It is found on and west of the Great Dividing Range of New South Wales to western Victoria and southern Queensland as well as far eastern South Australia. Taxonomy First described in 1911 by Joseph Lamb (born 1869), the author assigning the name ''Heleioporus sudelli''. The specific epithet honours "Miss J. Sudell", who collected the type specimen near Warwick in Queensland. It was transferred to the genus, ''Neobatrachus'', to become ''Neobatrachus sudellae'' in 2012, the epithet reflecting the gender of its namesake. The decision that is the same species as ''Neobatrachus centralis'' is based on work by Roberts in 2010. Description The Sudell's frog is relatively small, reaching only 40 mm in length. It is highly variable and is generally b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Discoglossus Nigriventer
The Hula painted frog (''Latonia nigriventer'') is an amphibian and the only living member of the genus '' Latonia,'' which was originally described from several fossil species from the Oligocene to Early Pleistocene of Europe. The Hula painted frog was thought to be extinct as a result of habitat destruction during the 1950s until the species was rediscovered in 2011. It is endemic to the Lake Hula marshes in Israel. The draining of Lake Hula and its marshes in the 1950s was thought to have caused the extinction of this frog, along with the cyprinid fish ''Acanthobrama hulensis'' and cichlid fish ''Tristramella intermedia''. Only five individuals had been found prior to the draining of the lake. Environmental improvements in the Hula reserve have been cited as a possible reason for the frog's reemergence. Description The Hula painted frog has a dark belly with small white spots. It is colored ochre above with a rusty colour grading into dark olive-grey to greyish-black on the ...

Kaloula Pulchra
The banded bullfrog (''Kaloula pulchra'') is a species of frog in the narrow-mouthed frog family Microhylidae. Native to Southeast Asia, it is also known as the Asian painted frog, digging frog, Malaysian bullfrog, common Asian frog, and painted balloon frog. In the pet trade, it is sometimes called the chubby frog. Adults measure and have a dark brown back with stripes that vary from copper-brown to salmon pink. The banded bullfrog lives at low altitudes and is found in both urban and rural settings, as well as in forest habitats. They bury themselves underground during dry periods and emerge after heavy rainfall to emit calls and breed. They feed primarily on ants and termites; predators of adults and tadpoles include snakes, dragonfly larvae, and snails. When threatened, they inflate their lungs and secrete a noxious white substance. The species is prevalent in the pet trade and is a potential invasive species being introduced in Taiwan, the Philippines, Guam, Singapore, Bor ...
