Back to Costa Rica again, when the very last night there (actually a few hours from my flight back home!) I was able to see the beautiful rufous-eyed brook frog (Duellmanohyla rufioculis) endemic to Costa Rica and possibly Panama. Its populations are threatened by habitat loss but still believed to be rather stable. #duellmanohyla #costarica #picoftheday #frog #treefrog #amphibian #conservation #wildlife #macro #photography #nikonz9 #godoxflash #herping #herpingtheglobe #herps @ilcp_photographers (at Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cihym-2Kcgl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the adorable red eyed stream frog of Costa Rica, Duellmanohyla uranochroa. This little guy makes a sound just like a camera shutter which is how we found him on a night walk in Monteverde.

Honduran Brook Frog - A Critically Endangered species

Duellmanohyla salvavida (Hylidae), better known as  Honduran Brook Frog, is an uncommon species only found in Sierra de Nombre de Dios and Montaña Macuzal, Atlantica and Yoro departments, north-central Honduras.

The Honduran Brook Frog is small, up to 28 mm in adult males, and 34 mm in adult females. This frog can be distinguished from all other Honduran hylids by having uniformly green dorsal surfaces in life, a white labial stripe, a white, poorly developed lateral stripe, and brightly red eyes, among other features.

Despite Honduras currently has an extensive system of national parks and other protected areas, Duellmanohyla salvavida is one of several amphibian species whose populations are declining severely, to the point that this particular species is considered Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

Duellmanohyla rufioculis (Hylidae) is recognized with the common name of Rufous-eyed Brook frog. It is a species of frog that occurs on the Caribbean and Pacific slopes of the mountains of Costa Rica [1].

Duellmanohyla rufioculis is characterized by having smooth or slightly granular dorsal skin. The dorsum often holds a pattern of lines or spots. The dorsal background color is dark brown to green coffee. It has a white lateral stripe on the eardrum or the armpit to the groin and / or a white patch under the eye. The throat is immaculate or with some large dark spots. The throat and belly are white. The pupil is horizontal under strong light and the iris is red [2].
