Cachabi Robber Frog (Pristimantis achatinus), family Strabomantidae, Colombia
This individual is unusually red, for this species, which is usually a shade of brown.
It is unclear as to whether this is normal variation, or if this is a Erythristic individual.

La Loma Robber Frog (Pristimantis caryophyllaceus), mother guarding eggs, family Strabomantidae, Costa Rica
Mothers lay eggs on leaves and then brood them under their bodies. The offspring go through the tadpole stage in the egg, and then hatch out as froglets. * This is possible, because their rain forest habitats are so humid, and wet.
