Panamanian golden frog
The Panamanian golden frog (''Atelopus zeteki'') is a rare species of toad 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. The alternative common name, Zetek's golden frog, and the epithet ''zeteki'' both commemorate the herpetologist James Zetek.
==Description==
Despite its common name, the Panamanian golden frog is a true toad. It was previously considered a subspecies of ''Atelopus varius'', but is now classified as a separate species. It is a member of the Bufonidae family.〔"Panamanian Golden Toad (Atelopus Zeteki)." ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' (2014): ''Research Starters''. Web. 26 Oct. 2015.〕
The golden frog is a national symbol and is considered to be one of the most beautiful frogs in Panama.〔 The skin colour of the golden frogs ranges from light yellow-green to bright gold, with some individuals exhibiting black spots on their backs and legs. Female golden frogs are generally larger than males; females typically range from in length and in weight, with males between in length and in weight.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Panamanian Golden Frog )〕
