What time is it please?

We were walking down the Manuel Antonio National Park, near the end of the Perezozo trail we spotted this Sand Clock frog or Hyla ebraccata. This specie of frog lives up on bromelias as high as 20 meters above the ground, that makes it really hard to find unless you are a really good climber!!

That day we were lucky to find it jus 1.5 meters off the ground. This frog is only about 5 centimeters long and it feeds mostly on insects. Frogs like this one, are indicators of enviromental disorders in the planet, such as the ozone layer hole, this situation has triggered the growing of a fungus in their skins that can wipe out a whole specie of frog. This, we think, happened with the Golden Toad up in the cloud forest of Costa Rica. Another big reason why is important to preserve the rainforest of the world, all this little guys need the canopy of the trees as a shelter to protect them from extintion. Thanks to all those that help us save the rainforest and our little colorful friends. !!!
