Cardioglossa annulata
Cardioglossa annulata is a frog in the family Arthroleptidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
The species is relatively long with a sharp snout. Three little black spots are scattered across its brown back. The fingertips, dorsal thigh, lower back, and groin all have white spines.
Adults measure between 22.8 to 32.9 mm (0.90 to 1.30 in), with a single juvenile measuring 21.5 mm (0.85 in).

Range and habitat
Cardioglossa annulata, the annulated long-fingered frog, is a frog from the genus Cardioglossa native to Congo in elevations of 634 to 744 m (2,080 to 2,441 ft). It lives in forests and wetlands in a 610 km2 (240 sq mi) area.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
