Panamanian golden frog

Panama gold frog is a small and vivid color dragonfly. The prime minister is not a wide and sharp nose. The body is thin, the limbs are long, the top is smooth and there is a thin needle. Gender has a similar color, usually a uniform golden yellow with one to several large black rear spots. Normally, the abdomen is also yellow, but when carrying eggs the surface of the ventral side of the woman becomes bright. The gold frog in Panama is the most toxic in the atelope, and one of the skin contains enough toxins to kill 1200 mice. Its very bright color is suitable for warning predators

An adult male weighs 3 to 9 inches (35 to 48 mm), weighs 0.1 to 0.4 ounces (3 to 12 grams), a female weighs 8 to 5 inches (45 to 63 mm), weighs 0.1 0.5 ounces ( 4 to 15 grams) Men and women in wet forest are bigger than frogs in dry forest

This species is on the slopes of the rainforest and cloud forests in central and central Panama, with altitudes of 1,100 to 4,300 feet (335 to 1,315 meters). Panama Golden frog lives in two types of habitat: wetland forest and dry forest

The gold frogs in Panama mainly breed along streams and other flowing water sources. Men are lacking in the vocal cords, attracting women through visual indications such as cramping of legs and heads, punching of the ground, jumping into a given position. During mating, when a man fertilizes them, the woman raises 30 to 75 eggs in the shallow.

蝌蚪 has a flat body and an abdominal sucker that prevents them from being swept at the present time. In the first few days after hatching, cockroaches become whitish completely, and after a few days the color changes.

The conservation situation of the Golden frog in Panama is seriously threatened by the endangered species IUCN Red List. The population sharply declines and may be extinct in the wild.

The threats include loss of habitat and fragmentation, contamination of pesticides, excessive collection of pet trade, especially fungus fungus.

Scientists at the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Laboratory work to save Panama's golden frog and other amphibians. The Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project is a multi-institutional breeding program designed to maintain the most endangered frog's health and viable population in the world.

Before you take the animal home, choose your pet wisely and investigate. Exotic animals do not necessarily become excellent pets. Tropical reptiles and small mammals are often traded internationally and may be victims of illegal pet trading. Do not keep animals kept as pets in wild animals.

Support groups such as the Smithsonian National Zoo and the Conservation Biology Institute are studying better ways to protect and protect this animal and other endangered species. Think about donating your time, money or goods

Avoid disposable plastic such as plastic bottles, bags, cooking utensils. Please select a reusable option to help reduce plastic contamination

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Before the fungus spread to the habitat of Panama 's golden frog, the conservation groups gathered Panama' s golden frogs and put them in captured living - support colonies. The amphibian skin is the host of many resident bacterial communities, and in some amphibians it functions as a defense against pathogens. Researchers sequenced the wild captured Panama goldfrog from the same population and the captured pancreatic goldfrog bacterial community and assessed how long-term capture affected the crowd. The species abundance, phylogenetic diversity and community structure of the skin microbial flora were found to be significantly different between wild panama and captive Panama golden frog. But after being imprisoned for about eight years, the descendants of the original captive Panama gold frog shared 70% of the wild frogs and microbial communities.

Panama gold frog (Atelopus zeteki) is Panama's unique pelican. Panama's golden frog was sitting on the cloudy slope of Cordillera in the Midwest of Panama. IUCN lists it as a serious endangered species, but in reality it has been in danger of extinction since 2007. To protect the species, people were collected for artificial breeding. Another common name, Zetek's frog and nickname zeteki is to commemorate the insect scholar James Zetek
