Panamanian Golden Frog

Atelopus zeteki

These guys are tiny. So small, in fact, that they’re born without eardrums. They use a form of sign language called semaphore to communicate with other frogs. This sign language involves waving hands and raising feet to greet each other, defend territory, or attract a mate. For example, male frogs will wave their arms to attract females, and females will wave back if they are interested.

Unfortunately, they’ve been extinct in the wild since 2007 due to the amphibian chytrid fungus but they’re being bred successfully in captivity.

Axolotl are this cool that they are able to keep their larva form all their life long, we call this phenomenom "neoteny". If they ever proceed to evolve, they will turn into salamender and will no longer be able to live under water. These amphibians are also known for their great regeneration abilities.

Young barking tree froggle! 🥹 He'll grow into those large feets and become one of our largest native tree frogs, but for now he's fairly small. I've only seen a handful in as many years of looking for them, so this perky lump made me very happy. Also they sound hilarious (look them up on iNaturalist, filter for "has sounds", and enjoy) . The moniker is accurate.
