Here's a Rocket Frog #Colostethus sitting atop the head of a Crowned Tree Frog #Anotheca I thought the #crown would prevent such disrespect from smaller froggos. #NoRespect (at The Amphibian Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2M8skeh0ak/?igshid=1n0au936hu97i
Coronated Tree Frogs (Anotheca spinosa) can be found across Central American cloud forests, although their arboreal nature and their tendency to breed in tree holes makes uncovering its life history and ecology a challenge.

Thought I would end Poison Frog Week with a Pratt's Rocket Frog, a #PoisonFrog from Panama, sitting atop the face of #Anotheca — The Crowned Tree Frog. #PoisonFrogs #Colostethus #Colostethuspratti #AmphibianFoundation #Frog #Frogs #FrogsOfInstagram #frogsneedourhelp #PoisonFrogWeek
A young #Anotheca spinosa, the Crowned Tree Frog from #Panama. Anotheca is declining throughout much if its range. The Garden maintains a #CaptiveAssuranceColony of this remarkable species, producing offspring which can hopefully, one day be returned back to Panama to repopulate the region once the deadly amphibian disease - #AmphibianChytridFungus is no longer a threat.
Recently metamorphosed Crowned Tree Frog, Anotheca spinosa from #Panama ... We have lots of baby Anotheca coming out of the water right now, and they are so adorable at that age! #Anothecaspinosa #Anotheca #CaptiveAssuranceColonies #CaptiveAssuranceColony #captivebred #CaptiveBreeding #frogPOD
Panama's Crowned Tree Frog, Anotheca spinosa in the #frogPOD ... Crowned Tree Frogs are tree hole breeders, and the developing larvae will only eat eggs from mom ... and her poop! A study performed here in the frogPOD suggests that the Crowned Tree Frog tadpoles need access to infertile eggs as well as excrement in order to develop properly and metamorphose. #Anothecaspinosa #Anotheca #EggFeeders #Oophagy #PoopEater #Coprophagy #Turdophagy
