Amphibians in Costa Rica, colorful frogs and salamanders in the rainforest, Glass frog fight

When we are in the nature and we look for venomous snakes, we often encounter amazing amphibians. There are many frog and salamander species in Costa Rica. In this video we show amphibians which we managed to film. Red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas) are amazingly beautiful and they are the most photographed frogs in the world. Spiny-headed tree frog (Triprion spinosus) is not easy to find. It is known for its spines on the head. Glass frogs are beautiful and they have a transparent skin. We observed a fight between two males of Grainy Cochran frogs (Cochranella granulosa). Some species of glass frogs have parental care, some not. Strawberry poison frogs (Oophaga pumilio) are colorful and easy to find during the day. Savage's thin-toed frog (Leptodactylus savagei) is huge and it is always cool to find it in the rainforest. Costa Rica is home also to climbing salamanders. We filmed the Cukra climbing salamander (Bolitoglossa striatula).

My favorite part was seeing the glass frogs with their eggs and the embryos moving around already showing the beautiful green color.

Awesome that you watched this video! Glass frogs are awesome, it was cool to see those tadpoles moving!

Red Eyed Tree Frogs are dazzlingly beautiful 🤩 my favourite species. Glass Frogs take camouflage to a whole new level. What’s the future for these striking wildlife in the video.

[@LivingZoology]

You are right, one is super colorful and the second one well campuflaged! But both are beautiful 🐸

[@rodry169]

Wow, I love it, I love it, I love your frog videos, recording frogs at night with the sounds of crickets is fantastic, I am in love with tree frogs, please continue recording frogs at night is another wonderful world, I hope yours next video soon, hugs from Spain. PD: The thorn frog, I think its scientific name is; "Pristimantis llanganati" did not know her.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you very much!! We are very happy that you enjoyed watching our new frog video! We will try to film more frogs during our next trips 🙂🐸

Dneska bylo fakt krásné video, za mě jsou nejhezčí bojující glass frogs a oophaga pumilio. Taky jsou všechny fotky jsou nádherné, ta s těmi pulci vysícími z listu je TOP!🙂

[@LivingZoology]

Tak to máme radost! :) Asi souhlasíme s tvým výběrem, my ještě máme hodně rádi mločíky! :) Děkujeme, z některých fotek máme radost!

[@vilyspevak]

Fakt bombastické video!! Tie priehľadné žaby ako bojujú je podľa mňa, najlepšia časť videa lebo také momenty sa nevidia často. Všetky zábery sú naozaj kvalitné a SUPER sa na nich pozerá, aj tá polu-žubrienka 4:39 je tiež fantastická...aj tá spinofrog je veľmi zaujímavá. Skratka, užil som si video :)

[@LivingZoology]

Moc ďakujeme, sme radi, že toto video zaujalo! :) Aj pre nás bol ten súboj asi najlepším zážitkom s žabami v Kostarike.

Have you any on my country, Nicaragua?... ✌️ 🌎 ✊🐍

[@LivingZoology]

We haven't been to Nicaragua yet, sorry.

[@VoicelessScream]

Very nice video, thanks for sharing. Would you have suggestions on where in Costa Rica are the best places to observe frogs in general ? It seems like they are 'everywhere' but we are trying to book an itinerary for a week and are having a hard time settling on a base location for wildlife spotting/photography. Our initial thoughts were Monteverde/Santa Elena --- Pocosol/La Fortuna but I'm not sure anymore as it seems not so well populated with critters (or at least not cited as such)

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you! Go to Sarapiqui valley!

[@alfazoologist9741]

Hi living zoology, I watched the video but I wasn't able to watch it during premier, it's also amazing video because all of these animals play an amazing important role in the nature and balance the ecosystem.

So sad! Such a simple solution of picking up our trash & not driving on the dunes can save a fragile ecosystem & species! We are such a destructive species!!!

You are absolutely right! But, you probably wanted to write this comment under the video about the Namaqua dwarf adder? :)
