This is one of the most spectacular species of the already spectacular group of tree frogs - the #phyllomedusines or Leaf and Monkey Frogs. #Cruziohylacraspedopus #Phyllomedusinae #LeafFrogs #LeafFrog #MonkeyFrog #AmphibianConservation #AmphibianConservationProgram #FrogsNeedOurHelp #AtlantaBotanicalGardenConservation #EndangeredSpecies #AtlantaBG #FrogsOfInstagram #frogs #frog #salamanders #salamander #ribbit #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #ExSitu #InSitu #CaptiveAssuranceColony via Instagram http://ift.tt/29kS0HF

Hopefully we will be able to breed this remarkable species soon. A. spurelli belongs to the hylid subfamily #Phyllomedusinae - Leaf and Monkey Frogs - Their extensive webbing on the hands and feet enable this frog to glide from one tree to the next. #Agalychnisspurelli #AmphibianConservation #AmphibianConservationProgram #FrogsNeedOurHelp #SalamandersNeedourHelp #AtlantaBotanicalGardenConservation #EndangeredSpecies #AtlantaBG #FrogsOfInstagram #frogs #frog #ribbit #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #ExSitu #InSitu #CaptiveAssuranceColony

#LeafFrogs of the sub-family Phyllomedusinae typically lay their eggs on leaves or structures over water, so when the eggs hatch the tadpoles drop into safely to continue development. # Agalychnis #LeafFrog #CaptiveBreeding

A #CriticallyEndangered #phyllomedusine from #CostaRica One of the most beautiful #LeafFrogs ... This species is completely uncooperative for the purposes of photography. I was lucky he stayed still looking enough for me to get this one. #LeafFrog #JumpyFrog #YellowEyedLeafFrog #Agalychnisannae

Most Leaf Frogs turn darker shades in the evening, and A. annae is no exception. Still gorgeous. #Agalychnis #Agalychnisannae #Phyllomedusinae #LeafFrog #CriticallyEndangered #AmphibianConservation #CaptiveAssuranceColonies

  This is where we work with non-Panamanian species of frogs from Central and South America. If you saw the post from two days ago, you saw that our central Panama frogs are housed in isolation on the #FrogPOD It was hard to get a shot of all the enclosures, so I focused on these four. In these we keep Leaf Frogs (subfamily: #Phyllomedusinae ) Cruziohyla calcarifer, the Splendid Leaf Frog; C. craspedopus, the Fringed Leaf Frog; Agalychnis moreletii, the Black-eyed Leaf Frog and Agalychnis spurelli, the Gliding Leaf Frog as well as two species of Glass Frog (family: #Centrolenidae ) Sachatamia albomaculata, the White-spotted Glass Frog and Cochranella granulosa, the Granular Glass Frog. Also in this room are other phyllomedusines such as Blue-sided Leaf Frog, Agalychnis annae; Red-eyed Leaf Frog, A. callidryas; Lemur Leaf Frog, Agalychnis lemur. We also have several morphs of Dendrobates tinctorius that we breed for research, exhibits and outreach - donating many of them to vari...

A spectacular species from the sub family Phyllomedusinae. #Cruziohylacraspedopus #Cruziohyla #LeafFrog #Amazon #AmazonFrogs

Hopefully, we can get this pair to spawn in the near future. A. annae is a critically endangered species from Costa Rica. We are lucky and grateful that we get to work with this species, thanks to our collaborative partners at the Manchester Museum and their amphibian conservation work in Costa Rica. #Agalychnisannae #Agalychnis #Phyllomedusinae #leaf #LeafFrog #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #EndangeredSpecies #AmphibianConservation

Another incredible #phyllomedusine from Costa Rica. #Agalychnismoreletii #Agalychnis #Phyllomedusinae #LeafFrog

Such an amazing and spectacularly colored species. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with them thanks to the generosity of @adamwbland and the Vivarium at the Manchester Museum. The Blue-sided, out Yellow-eyed Leaf Frog is critically endangered with numbers still declining in the wild. Several months ago we had an international collaborative phyllomedusine (and Anotheca) exchange with the Vivarium and look forward to working with them more in the future. #Agalychnis #Agalychnisannae #Phyllomedusinae #LeafFrog #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred

Photo by @joelsartore | The Lemur Leaf Frog is a critically endangered species that historically occurred in Costa Rica, south through Panama into Colombia. They have suffered an estimated 80% loss of population in the last fifteen years and are still in decline. The Lemur Leaf Frog pictured here was bred in captivity from frogs collected in central Panama (El Valle de Antón) during a 2005 expedition to the region. This was part of a collaborative effort by @atlbotanical @zooatl and El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center to rescue amphibian populations from the emergent infectious disease — chytridiomycosis. This fungus, nicknamed 'chytrid' devastated 85% of the Panamanian amphibians from the area. That was ten years ago, and the Lemur Leaf Frogs collected as well as other Panamanian species are housed in the #frogPOD — a biosecure facility at the Atlanta Botanical Garden where the frogs can be studied, and bred in captivity. In critical situations like this, frogs are k...
