Mauricio Rivera Correa

A species of frog that is native to Colombia is the Antioquia Giant Glass Frog, and it is considered to be near-threatened. Dwells sub-Andean woodland vegetation around streams. This species is threatened by localized deforestation and water contamination from agriculture.

These frogs look almost mystical in their charm and beauty. Antioquia enormous glass frogs seem light green when seen from above. Due in large part to their massively webbed toes, which let them grab onto slick branches, the nocturnal animals are outstanding climbers. These amphibians are fiercely protective of their territory, and aggressive males may drive visitors off the trees if they refuse to leave.
