The frog can grow to large sizes, reaching twenty centimeters in length. She buries herself in the leaves so that only her head is visible, and when one of her me...

EvaUnusual frogs. Atelope changeable
Atelopus varius is endemic to Costa Rica and over the past few years, due to the spread of the fungus and climate change, the population of this species of frog has declined rapidly. At the moment, there is only one isolated population left. This species is now dangerously close to extinction. The frog's colors (which vary between purple, black or yellow) warn predators to stay away as the frogs secrete a powerful toxic poison that is 100 times stronger than potassium cyanide. The only c...

Ovoviviparous Toad (Morogoro Tree Toad) Endemic to the rainforests and grasslands of Tanzania, the ovoviviparous toad, Nectophrynoides Viviparus, has large glands on its body located near the eyes and limbs. These glands can come in a variety of colors, including orange, grey, green, red and white. The color of the gland usually contrasts with the rest of the frog's skin. The eggs hatch while still inside the female, and are born into small but fully formed toads. This type of pregnancy is quite rare for amphibians.
