NEW SPECIES – ANNOUNCED IN NOVEMBER 2010
Colombia - potentially new species of Beaked Toad – genus Rhinella
In Colombia, no species were rediscovered during the "Search for Lost Frogs", but three potentially brand new species to science were documented. This potentially new species of beaked toad (genus Rhinella) was found in the rainforests of Chocó department. This individual, around 2cm in length, is thought to skip the tadpole stage, hatching directly into toadlets from eggs laid on the forest floor. The coloration and shape of the head make the toad resemble the dead leaves on which it lives.
