Title: Atelopus varius Written by: duddy on Jan 31, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_31_01_13_8_32_36.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11285) This is the Costa Rican variable harlequin toad (Atelopus varius), also known as the clown frog (in spite of the fact that it is a true toad). They once ranged from Costa Rica to Panama, but are now listed as critically endangered and reduced to a single population in Costa Rica. The variable harlequin toads conspicuous colouring serves as a warning to predators of the toads toxicity. |
