This is a particularly beautiful species of centrolenid - the Granular Glass Frog, Cochranella granulosa. Follow @amphibianfoundation for more beautiful pictures and information on Amphibians, amphibian conservation and declines. Glass frogs are transparent on their ventral surface, but their dorsal coloration can be quite beautiful. C. granulosa often has shades of blue mixed with green on their dorsum. Their granular glands are also quite prominent and spectacular! #Cochranella #Cochranellagranulosa #GranularGlassFrog #Centrolenidae #AmphibianConservation #AmphibianConservationProgram #FrogsNeedOurHelp #EndangeredSpecies #RacingExtinction #EndExtinction #FrogsOfInstagram #frogs #frog #ribbit #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #ExSitu #InSitu #CaptiveAssuranceColony #CaptiveBreedingColony #Mandica #CritterCamp #Critter-Camp #AmphibianFoundation #TheAmphibianFoundation (at The Amphibian Foundation, Inc)

Another species we have the privilege of working with and breeding at the @AmphibianFoundation, is the Blue-side Leaf Frog — Agalychnis annae. A spectacular #phyllomedusine (or Leaf Frog), this frog is a #CriticallyEndangered species with populations still declining in the wild. I got particularly lucky with this shot, as this species rarely stays still. This species clearly bears a resemblance to its cousin, the Red-eyed Leaf Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) but it’s not nearly as easy to breed A. annae in captivity. In the wild, these two Central American species are #sympatric but as A. annae continues to decline, the species are moving toward #allopatry. #Agalychnis #Agalychnisannae #YellowEyedLeafFrog #BlueSidedLeafFrog #Phyllomedusinae #Hylidae #TreeFrog #LeafFrog #AmphibianConservation #AmphibianConservationProgram #FrogsNeedOurHelp #EndangeredSpecies #RacingExtinction #EndExtinction #FrogsOfInstagram #frogs #frog #ribbit #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #ExSitu #InSitu #CaptiveAssuranceColony #CaptiveBreedingColony #Mandica #CritterCamp #Critter-Camp #AmphibianFoundation #TheAmphibianFoundation
