Atelopus

Information
The Chiriqui harlequin frog is a toad that lives in streams of wet forests and rainforests within the Cordillera de Telamanca mountain range in Costa Rica and western Panama. Males measure up to 1.3 inches in length while females are slightly larger and measure up to 1.9 inches in length and have stripes. Their coloration is highly variable and they use their weakly-developed glands to produce tetrodotoxen, the same poison that pufferfish and blue-ringed octopuses use. They are critically endangered due to habitat loss, threats from introduced trout, and an infectious disease known as chytridiomycosis, which is caused by chytrid fungi such as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans and kills many amphibians worldwide.
