UK Press: South America's Wildlife Wonders BBC News, London, UK, Jun. 16th, 2009: South America's Wildlife Wonders
An expedition to an often troubled region of the Ecuador-Peru border has discovered 12 species thought to be new to science (John: including a new Dart Frog and a Salamander - there is other amphibian interest too).
Click here for the slideshow over at the BBC News Website.

Re: UK Press: South America's Wildlife Wonders They are found in the pet hobby - they didn't discover any new species of glass frog, it's just a photo.Originally Posted by daydreaming

Re: UK Press: South America's Wildlife Wonders There's a whole family of glass frogs, Centrolenidae. They are rarely, if ever imported. I have seen many dealer list selling "glass frogs", but these always turn out to be some sort of Hylid. Sphaenorhynchus lacteus and Hypsiboas punctatus have been sold under this banner, but they are definitely not glass frogs. My personal favorite glass frog is Centrolene ilex, the ghost glass frog. For more glass frogs see http://amphibiaweb.org/lists/Centrolenidae.shtml

Re: UK Press: South America's Wildlife Wonders Don't know, as they are extremely hard to get, if not impossible to get. They only glass frogs I have ever seen were at Black Jungle and they were trying to breed them for Atlanta Botanical Gardens. They were tiny and it took us a while to find one in the terrarium.

Re: UK Press: South America's Wildlife Wonders that could be a good thing though the less there are and the harder they are to find mean the less taken from the wild
