Endangered
Cuban robber frog
Eleutherodactylus cubanus
Cuban robber frog is a frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae (order Anura) — Eleutherodactylus cubanus, recorded as Endangered and tied to Cuba.
The frog
Frogs and toads typically begin as aquatic tadpoles, though some families lay eggs on land and hatch as froglets. Skin and eggs both need moisture.
Amphibians need damp skin or water at some point in the life cycle. Habitat loss and chytrid fungus sit behind many of the badges in this class.
Range and habitat
Cuban robber frog is a frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae found in Cuba. Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
GBIF currently lists 27 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
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.
Cuban robber frog is Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
