🐸 I made a shirt to help spread awareness of chytrid, a fungal disease that’s driving several frog species to extinction! 

I’ll be donating all the profits I make to the Honduras Amphibian Rescue & Conservation Center, an organization that’s helping several critically endangered frogs and researching the chytrid fungus!

Please reblog to spread the word! Even if there isn’t a lot of donations, it’s really important that people are aware of this issue!

Adult Mossy Red-eyed Frog found at the #HARCC @frogrescue site in Cusuco National Park, Honduras. This species (Duellmanohyla soralia) always has stunning red eyes, but every single individual has a different pattern on their back. This is one of three endangered species we’re working to protect from extinction at www.FrogRescue.com . . #frog #wildlife #nature #science #cute #green #animals

Last week, I found this beautiful Mossy Red-eyed Frog (Duellmanohyla soralia) in the cloud forest of Cusuco National Park, Honduras. Our @frogrescue team spent 2 weeks learning more about this frog and other endangered species that we're working to protect from chytrid fungus at the HARCC center. Found while on assignment for @biographic_magazine.

Hang in there, froggy

This bromeliad tree frog (Bromeliohyla bromeliacia) lives high up in the rainforest canopy of Honduras inside a tiny pool of rainwater captured by the leaves of a bromeliad plant. Since this frog never needs to come down to the ground, the photographer had to climb up to it. National Geographic Explorer Jonathan Kolby became certified in canopy access rope climbing techniques to enter the arboreal world and investigate whether this species is affected by the deadly amphibian chytrid fungus. This fungus has been largely responsible for the decimation of the salamander, frog and toad populations in the U.S., Central America and Australia. Following a study by Kolby, which proved that amphibians exported from Madagascar were infected with chytrid fungus, research in 2015 partly funded by the National Science Foundation revealed that the fungus had indeed reached the island nation.

Happy Halloween from this Phoneutria spider found at the #HARCC field site in Cusuco National Park, Honduras! The venom of some species of Phoneutria can cause long-lasting erections in humans!

Few amphibians make me think of Halloween more than this orange & brown Mexican climbing salamander (Bolitoglossa mexicana) we found next to the HARCC @frogrescue center in Tela, Honduras.
