Frogs from Panama

ctranter · 10th of July 2012 (Tue)

Some frog photos from Panama.

I've been to central america a couple of times now but had never seen a red-eyed tree frog (despite much searching) so was pretty happy to have some willing subjects.

Red-eyed Tree Frog
Agalychnis callidryas

Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
Dendrobates auratus

Cane Toad
Bufo marinus

Tungara Frog
Engystomops pustulosus

Ohh i love Froggies... to bad the more colorful they are them being poisonious.. nice set..

Thanks for the comments - yup some of the poison dart frogs (and even the cane toads) can be pretty nasty. Those little D. auratus are pretty safe though and you can handle them if you're careful!

cool facial expression

Those shots take "red eye" to another level. I like #4 because the stripes on "his" side are visible, though the first 4 all represent "him" well.

Thanks for sharing your photos.

Beautiful shots...I love how the red eyes of the first one contrasts with it's green color.

Thanks everyone - they certainly are lovely subjects.

Phoenixkh - yeah different frogs show quite a lot of variation in the amount of blue they have on their flanks. These are actually two different red-eyed tree frogs and one had much prettier markings.
