Fantastic shot of a rare pink morph! Usually they are yellow, I just posted the same species but from Suriname. I agree with it being A. hoogmoedi.
Awesome! Thanks! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8001581
I just added the spotting you helped me to ID http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7669761
I would love if you added this beauty to the Amphibians of the World mission.
a good looking frog - so disappointing that they are disappearing.
Congratulations on Spotting of the Day!
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7129951 This is another Atelopus sp supposedly extinct, the photograph I did in 1987, and make it digital, so thats why the bad resolution. I love the genus of frog. Great picture
Spotting of the Day! "The Harlequin frog represents a disappearing lineage of brightly-colored neotropical amphibians. They are a rare, undescribed species and science knows very little about them." http://facebook.com/projectnoah/posts/253265041395549 http://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/141276290492805120
