Golden Frog Discovered In Colombia

A new poisonous frog was recently discovered in a remote mountainous region in Colombia by a team of young scientists supported by the Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP).
The new frog, which is almost two centimeters in length, was given the name the "golden frog of Supatá." It is unique and only found within a 20 hectare area in Colombia's Cundinamarca region. Colombia is one of the world's richest countries in amphibian diversity, with more than 583 species. (Release by Conservation International August 29, 2007.)
