Wow!!! Thank you Ashley!
Gracias Marta!
Yeah it is a tadpole and it does not have any legs yet.
Thank you Lisa for encouraging me to fill this spotting information. I hope I can find another rare spotting in my country. Greetings! :)
Lisa thank you for your comments. I managed to find a book of amphibians from Chile that has a description of each species both in Spanish and English. I wrote this information just right now in Project Noah... sorry for the delay, but I am working in my Master thesis and it is a pretty load of work. Hope you like the information. Greetings!
Thank you Lisa... I am really busy right now, so I do not have time to write about the habitat, nor the species itself. Furthermore, I am not an English native speaker, so it is a litlle more difficult for me to write in English. Although, I will try to upload this type of information when I have the time for that. Greetings!
We were doing an amphibian rescue, so we had to put those to especimens in the same bucket, because the other buckets were full of exotic invasive amphibian species individuals. After we put them together we saw that the tiny toad was on top of the head of the larger frog, so I had to take a photo of that!
Thanks for the help!
It looks like a Chilean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis). Is this a captive specimen? Because this species is only distributed in South America.
