day 1421
#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long#amphibian#frog#poison dart frog#based on my most popular frog to date (day 651)#inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like#here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor)#(according to the original artists title of the drawing)#not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)#i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference#im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice#its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other#while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??)#while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos#ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer#i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor)#i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re#and the white is darker and more green?#i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay#at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever#or just the name pet sites are using to sell it??#i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol#Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist#the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

Animal of the Day!
Summers’ Poison Frog (Ranitomeya summersi)
Tumblr media
(Photo by Brad Wilson)
Conservation Status- Endangered
Habitat- Central Peru
Size (Weight/Length)- 20 mm
Diet- Insects
Cool Facts- Found in only a single river in the Cordillera Azul National Park in Peru, the Summers’ poison frog is a beautiful fella. About as big as a fingernail, these frogs can spend their entire life in a small cluster of trees. During the mating season, the frogs put on a show with a unique song that sets them apart from the other poison frogs that live in the area. Their song is a soft buzzing noise that can only be heard from a meter away. That means for a male to have any chance at some loving, a female has to be within that one meter range to respond. The females then lay their eggs in tree hollows filled with rainwater. Unfortunately, Summers’ poison frogs are endangered from a mixture of habitat loss and the illegal pet trade.
Rating- 11/10 (A stripey son. A banded bro. A lined lad.)

An aromantic amphibious dragon! I took traits from a ton of different amphibians, squished them together, and used the aro flag for the color palette since it's aro week :)
