Golden Toad aka Monte Verde Toad (Incilius periglenes), family Bufonidae, was found in the Monteverde Cloud Forest region of northern #CostaRica

Poisonous.

EXTINCT.

The last documented sighting of this frog was in 1989. It is not clear why they went extinct.
The 2 major hypotheses for the cause of their decline and extinction are 1. Climate Change and 2. Chytrid fungus.

Sir Boredom and his six frogs... #scribble #doodle #frogs

RIP my amphibian buddies.

I didn't think my garden frog buddies would be silly enough to try to endure the winter in my discarded purple salad bowl pond, but alas, it burst and revealed two frog-sicles. 😢

We are now pondering a proper pond so that Frogtopolis 2.0 will offer a safe habitat for the determined hoppy friends claiming our tiny garden.

A tiny frog on the ground, next to a wall. It's a bit orange and has large black spots.

The head of a chill but cranky looking frog sticking out of some merky water.

A frog sat on a solar cell that powers a tiny fountain in the same purple salad bowl pond.

Two-panel meme. The first panel shows a woman doing a rejecting gesture at the text : "Give me a brek" since it is "uncivilized, predictable". The second panel shows the samewoman doing a cool accepting gesture towards the text : "Give me a brekekekekex koax koax" : polite, dignified.

A dark green frog, photographed from above as it grasps a round branch. Running along the "seams" of its body (along its back and on the edges of its limbs) are bright orange dots.

Before modern refrigeration, rural communities in Russia and Finland used an unusual technique to keep milk from spoiling: they dropped live brown frogs (Rana temporaria) into their milk containers.

Scientists later discovered that the skin of these frogs secretes antimicrobial peptides-natural antibiotics-that kill bacteria and slow spoilage, helping the milk stay safe to drink for longer.
