Panamanian Golden Frog
The Panamanian golden frog (''Atelopus zeteki''), also known as Cerro Campana stubfoot toad and other names, is a species of toad endemic to Panama. Panamanian golden frogs inhabit the streams along the mountainous slopes of the Cordilleran cloud forests of west-central Panama. While the IUCN lists it as Critically Endangered, it may in fact have been extinct in the wild since 2007. Individuals have been collected for breeding in captivity in a bid to preserve the species. The alternative common name, Zetek's golden frog, and the epithet ''zeteki'' both commemorate the entomologist James Zetek. Description Despite its common name, the Panamanian golden frog is a true toad, a member of the family Bufonidae. It was first described as a subspecies of ''Atelopus varius'', but is now classified as a separate species. The Panamanian golden frog is a national symbol and is considered to be one of the most beautiful frogs in Panama. The skin colour ranges from light yellow-green to b ...

Brazilian Gold Frog
The Brazilian gold frog (''Brachycephalus didactylus''), also known as Izecksohn's toad or flea-frog, is a very small species of frogs in the family Brachycephalidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil and is known from the central part of the state of Rio de Janeiro and from Serra das Torres in extreme southern Espírito Santo. All three English names are misleading or potentially confusing. Many species in the genus '' Brachycephalus'' are bright yellow-orange, hence the name "Brazilian gold frog", but ''B. didactylus'' is all brown. "Izecksohn's toad" leads to easy confusion with another species in the genus, '' B. izecksohni'', and both names refer to the herpetologist Eugênio Izecksohn. "Flea-frog" or "flea-toad" was historically restricted to ''B. didactylus'', once placed in its own genus ''Psyllophryne'' instead of ''Brachycephalus'', but a second species, '' B. hermogenesi'', was described in 1998 and two others, '' B. pulex'' and '' B. sulfuratus'', have been descri ...

Golden Poison Frog
The golden poison frog (''Phyllobates terribilis''), also known as the golden dart frog or golden poison arrow frog, is a poison dart frog endemic to the rainforests of Colombia. The golden poison frog has become endangered due to habitat destruction within its naturally limited range. Despite its small size, this frog is likely the most poisonous animal on the planet. Taxonomy and etymology The golden poison frog was described as ''Phyllobates terribilis'' in 1978 by herpetologists Charles W. Myers and Borys Malkin as well as biochemist John W. Daly; the species name ''terribilis'' is a reference to the deadly toxins present in the skin secretions of this species. Myers' research was based on hundreds of specimens collected on an expedition to the Quebrada Guangui and La Brea regions of the Colombian rainforest, and a breeding colony of 18 frogs established at the American Museum of Natural History.

Golden Rocket Frog
''Anomaloglossus beebei'' (common names: Beebe's rocket frog, golden rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae.

The phytotelmata of this bromeliad is the site of oviposition and tadpole rearing and are defended over time by the males. The females of this species are more brightly golden colored whereas males are more of a dull tan with brown pigmentation. Males take care of offspring and are preferred due to the elongation of their calls. Description The A. beebei has granular central skin, and moderate basal toe webbing. The male A. beebei has a snout-vent length maximum of 16.80 mm. This frog has a shorter Finger I than Finger II and dorsolateral stripes, this helps differentiate them from other species.

Golden Coquí
The golden coquí (''Eleutherodactylus jasperi'') is a rare species of frog endemic to Puerto Rico. General description Golden coquís are roughly in snout-vent length and are olive-gold to yellow-gold without pattern. The juveniles resemble adults. All Coqui species are very active throughout the night and are the most studied species in Puerto Rico. Both males and females are extremely territorial and they rarely move more than away from their retreat spot. The four discoverers (George E. Drewry, Kirkland L. Jones, Julia R. Clark and Jasper J. Loftus-Hills) planned to name the species for its color. However, when Dr. Loftus-Hills was killed in 1974 in an automobile accident, his colleagues chose instead to name it in his honor: ''jasperi''. Biology First reported to science in 1976, the golden coquí is ovoviviparous, the only live-bearing species known from the family Eleutherodactylidae. Female frog gives birth to 3–6 fully developed young after a pregnancy lasting less ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Golden Mantella
The golden mantella (''Mantella aurantiaca'') is a small, terrestrial frog endemic to Madagascar. It has an extremely restricted distribution in three distinct areas centered on the town of Moramanga - Beparasy and Ambohibary Communes, Torotorofotsy Wetland northwest of Andasibe, and in the area of Ambakoana. ''Mantella aurantiaca'' is one of Madagascar's most threatened amphibian species due to its limited distribution in an area under tremendous anthropogenic pressure. It may also be threatened by over-collection for the pet trade. Description The golden mantella is a uniformly yellow, orange, or red frog measuring 20–26 mm. The inner leg displays red flash marks. The tympanum is visible, but small. Brightly colored skin warns predators that the frog is poisonous. It is thought that the brilliant colors exhibited by the golden mantella are an example of aposematism, warning predators of the poisonous nature of the frog.
