Green Climbing Toad

Description:

This is one of the most camouflaged toads in the neotropics, I saw the individual on a Carludovica palmata leaf, at first I thought it could be a leaf or simply more moss, but when I checked with binoculars, I was very surprised to see this Incredible species that can be seen between Nicaragua and Ecuador. Green climbing toad can be colored with browns, greens, and even yellows. These colors on its back and other areas of the body are arranged in a camouflage pattern that can be unique between each member of the species. Its eyes are green with vertically slit pupils. Adult males of the species can measure approximately 53–72 mm and adult females 76–94 mm. Females and males in adulthood or easy to tell apart due to males usually having just a bit brighter coloring. However, when they haven't metamorphosed yet, males and females are practically indistinguishable as all the tadpoles look identical.

Habitat:

Pre-mountain wet forest , from sea level uo to 1500 mosl
