Here's a Rocket Frog #Colostethus sitting atop the head of a Crowned Tree Frog #Anotheca⁠ ⁠ I thought the #crown would prevent such disrespect from smaller froggos. #NoRespect (at The Amphibian Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2M8skeh0ak/?igshid=1n0au936hu97i

Thought I would end Poison Frog Week with a Pratt's Rocket Frog, a #PoisonFrog from Panama, sitting atop the face of #Anotheca — The Crowned Tree Frog. #PoisonFrogs #Colostethus #Colostethuspratti #AmphibianFoundation #Frog #Frogs #FrogsOfInstagram #frogsneedourhelp #PoisonFrogWeek

A young #Anotheca spinosa, the Crowned Tree Frog from #Panama. Anotheca is declining throughout much if its range. The Garden maintains a #CaptiveAssuranceColony of this remarkable species, producing offspring which can hopefully, one day be returned back to Panama to repopulate the region once the deadly amphibian disease - #AmphibianChytridFungus is no longer a threat.

Recently metamorphosed Crowned Tree Frog, Anotheca spinosa from #Panama ... We have lots of baby Anotheca coming out of the water right now, and they are so adorable at that age! #Anothecaspinosa #Anotheca #CaptiveAssuranceColonies #CaptiveAssuranceColony #captivebred #CaptiveBreeding #frogPOD

Panama's Crowned Tree Frog, Anotheca spinosa in the #frogPOD ... Crowned Tree Frogs are tree hole breeders, and the developing larvae will only eat eggs from mom ... and her poop! A study performed here in the frogPOD suggests that the Crowned Tree Frog tadpoles need access to infertile eggs as well as excrement in order to develop properly and metamorphose. #Anothecaspinosa #Anotheca #EggFeeders #Oophagy #PoopEater #Coprophagy #Turdophagy
