Blue-sided Leaf Frog

[cool-critters]

Blue-sided tree frog (Agalychnis annae)

The blue-sided tree frog is both nocturnal and arboreal, and like other Agalychnis species it typically moves around by walking, although it will also leap between branches. Male blue-sided tree frogs call to attract a mate, usually sitting in vegetation overhanging ponds and giving a repeated ‘wor-or-orp’ every 40 seconds or so. The blue-sided tree frog is endemic to Costa Rica, and can be found at elevations ranging from 780 to 1,650 metres on the slopes of the cordilleras of northern and central Costa Rica. The IUCN classifies this frog as ‘Endangered’.
