 Rocket Frog

 

Golden Rocket Frog

(Anomaloglossus beebei)

Kaieteur Falls, Guyana

 

These frogs are no larger than your thumbnail. They are found only within the leaves of a giant bromeliad that grows on the poor, rocky soils of the Guiana Shield of South America. Once thought to be deadly poisonous like the brightly colored poison dart frogs, they are now known to be benign, if colorful.
