wait, frogs have FOUR fingers?? not FIVE?????????

Correct. Frogs and caudates (newts and salamanders). Ancestrally. It looks like the fifth digit was lost among at least one lineage of fairly early temnospondyls, which later gave rise to neobatrachia. But honestly the fossil record is a bit hard to interpret in this regard, and I’m dissatisfied with the work I’ve seen so far.

Lemuria Island Creature 1: Lianguschanara kamilovi – Ancient Moss Frog

This species was not related to three frog suborders: Neobatrachia, Mesobatrachia, and Archaeobatrachia, rather than in their own family: Gobiatidae.

Name: Lianguschanara kamilovi (Russian: Лягушка "lyaguschka" for frog + Sanskrit: नर "nara" for man, and kamilovi is honored to Abdulaziz Khafizovich Kamilov)

Creator: Ognimdo2002

Clade: Anura

Habitat: Tropical rainforest, temperate maritime forest, open woodlands, savannah, and wetlands near rivers, oxbow lake, and ponds.

Size: 2.5 cm

Ecology: Insectivore, piscivore

Additional Info: This species classified in binomial nomenclature as incertae sedis, lack of any related to three frogs and it is more primitive than other frogs. This frog is unique among the rest of the Anuran, except for its tail, which is present and the three families of frogs lack, notably except for the modern-day tailed frog. It eats insects, crabs, spiders, and smaller fish. The frog's croaking is quieter than other frogs', and during courtship, it actually wrestles with the female. Its superb camouflage is in the forests covered in mosses and ferns.

Size comparison of this species and the height.

Arhuaco community of Colombia allows scientists to photograph 'lost' toad

For nearly 30 years, the starry night harlequin toad (Atelopus arsyecue), a tiny amphibian, named for its glossy black skin with white spots that resembles a starry, dark sky, remained undetected by scientists. But the indigenous Arhuaco people of the Sogrome community living in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, one of the world’s tallest coastal mountains and the only place the toad is known from, have been residing alongside the species for generations. They not only share their mountain home with the toad, but consider the animal sacred and an integral part of their culture. According to the Arhuaco people, gouna, as the toad is locally known, tells them about their environment, indicating the right time to plant crops or perform spiritual ceremonies.

“The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a place that we consider sacred, and harlequin toads are guardians of water and symbols of fertility,” Kaneymaku Suarez Chaparro, a member of the Sogrome community and a biology student at the Francisco José de Cladas District University, said in a statement.

Recently, the community opened its doors to some conservation biologists, allowing them to take photographs of the critically endangered toads and share them with the wider scientific community, the U.S.-based Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC) announced in a press release.

“With the starry night harlequin toad records, we confirm that Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is one of the most important sites for the conservation of harlequin toads in Latin America,” Luis Alberto Rueda, a professor at Universidad del Magdalena and cofounder of Fundación Atelopus, said in the statement. Fundación Atelopus is the Colombian NGO that partners with GWC and is working to document the toad.

“We are tremendously grateful to the Arhuaco people for giving us this opportunity to work with them,” added Lina Valencia, Colombia conservation officer at GWC.

Harlequin toads, a group of vibrant toads found in the American tropics, are among the world’s most threatened amphibians. Of the 96 known species of harlequin toads, 80 are endangered, critically endangered or extinct in the wild, according to the IUCN Red List. The deadly chytrid fungus in particular, which has decimated amphibian populations around the world, has hit the harlequin toads hard. And researchers were worried that the starry night harlequin toad, which hadn’t been recorded by scientists in nearly three decades, had been wiped out by the fungal disease.

Glass Frogs Centrolenidae

[simply-caps]

you links for cap downloads of re: hamatora 1-5 & 8-9 are broken ): do you have another link or can you reupload them by any chance? thank you!

Hi there,

I have no idea when you sent this message to me @neobatrachia (I cannot tag you for some reason), I want to thank you for alerting me to the faulty link, but I also am not screencapping anymore and do not know if I would have the time or ability to re-cap it again.

When I used to use KMPlayer to screencap I ended up having a problem where the file size to download was just too large and I am not sure the issue has been resolved ever since.

There is some information about them on GBIF. There also seems to be some disagreement regarding its genus; IUCN and AmphibiaWeb have it in Glyphoglossus.

Calluella capsa, the Red Hot Chili Pepper Frog from Borneo. As its pretty rare no-one has tasted it yet to see if it lives up to its name
