Dendropsophus Garagoensis
''Dendropsophus garagoensis'' is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the eastern slope of the Cordillera Oriental in Boyacá Department, Colombia. Common name Garagoa treefrog has been proposed for it. Etymology The frog has been found in and named after Garagoa, Boyacá. Garagoa means in Muysccubun "behind the hill" or "on the other side of the hill". Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The head is large and wide. The snout is rounded in profile but blunt and barely rounded in dorsal view. The tympanic annulus is indistinct; the weakly-developed supratympanic fold hides the upper part of the tympanum. The fingers are long, partly webbed, and have rounded discs. The toes are relatively long and webbed. The upper surfaces of the head and body are brown; the flanks are dark brown with bluish-white spots. There are conspicuous yellowish-greenish white dorsolateral and labial bands.

Frog
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely Carnivore, carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order (biology), order Anura (ανοὐρά, literally ''without tail'' in Ancient Greek). The oldest fossil "proto-frog" ''Triadobatrachus'' is known from the Early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock, molecular clock dating suggests their split from other amphibians may extend further back to the Permian, 265 Myr, million years ago. Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforest. Frogs account for around 88% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders. Warty frog species tend to be called toads, but the distinction between frogs and toads is informal, not from Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy or evolutionary history. An adult frog has a stout body, protruding eyes, anteriorly-attached tongue, limb ...
