Pristimantis dorado
Pristimantis dorado is a rain frog in the family Craugastoridae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
The frog is less than 2 cm long and can be distinguished from closely related species by its metallic golden iris with a horizontal brown streak.
Range and habitat
It is native to the forests of Colombia. The first specimen was found calling in roadside bushes in cloud forest near Chingaza National Natural Park at 2,650 m.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Direct-developing rainfrogs live in wet forest. They do not need a pond, which is why a logged hillside can erase a species.
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
In crisis
Direct-developing frogs vanish with the forest floor. There is no pond population waiting off-site.
