🐸Panamanian golden frog

Atelopus zeteki Dunn, 1933

The Panamanian golden frog, also known as the Panamanian golden toad, Zetek's golden frog, and Cerro Campana stubfoot toad and other names, is a species of toad endemic to Panama. Panamanian golden frogs inhabit the streams along the mountainous slopes of the Cordilleran cloud forests of west-central Panama. While the IUCN lists it as Critically Endangered, it may in fact have been extinct in the wild since 2007. Individuals have been collected for breeding in captivity in a bid to preserve the species.
