Wildlife Spotting

Hi Doc,did you see this in an aquarium or museum?

As Scott mentioned there is no native Poison Dart Frogs in Maryland. So these must be captive animals. Unless your map is incorrect. It should show where you actually saw these, captive or not. Don't show on the map where you think they may be found.

Hello dr.shouptik. First of all Welcome to Project Noah! The reason I asked you for location information is because you have placed your map marker on Baltimore, Maryland. So this would include the name of any facility housing captive specimens. Superficially at least, these frogs look like poison dart frogs, so I assume they are from a zoo. The purpose of the Habitat box on the spotting page is for "habitat of the spotting", not for a general habitat text searched for once you know the species identity. The habitat of the spotting should always be known whether or not the species is known because the user took the photograph. Here is what is said in Project Noah's Frequently Asked Questions about what to put under "Habitat": "Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box." http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Please take the opportunity to peruse this link because it is chock-full of other advice and tips to help with your Project Noah experience. Cheers

Please add location details of these captives under "habitat". Thanks
