Colombia has over 751 species of amphibians! That is truly amazing! There are just around 300 species of amphibians in all of the United States.

It is possible that this species is a synonym of Elachistocleis ovalis

How sad... more habitat loss for Earth's wildlife. :(

One of the narrow mouthed "toads" is my best guess. I thought I knew it, but all I could find were similar species

thank you. ya most animals do not like to be flipped over, though i wanted to show the ventral coloration in case it helps with the IDing. it was brief and the little froggy is burrowed under dead palm fronds like i found him. it was not harmed. :)

Nice series (although it might not have been very comfortable in that last shot?)
