Jewel of the Jungle

Splendid Leaf Frog also know as the Barred-Leaf Frog
(agalychnis calcarifer)Photo Location:Costa Rica. A very close relative to the famous Red-Eye Tree Frog(agalychnis calidryas)This species is found mostly in Central America and Northern parts of South America this is a rare hard to find frog in the wild for it lives high in the canopy only coming down to breed, deposit eggs, and ocasionally to hunt. although this particular specimen isn't that vibrant in color the adults display magnificent intense coloration.
