The most endangered frog in world is the Golden Panamanian Frog. Most of the frogs live in the Philadelphia Zoo.Some people say they are good luck charms and also that they are practically extinct from the wild since 2007. Some people are trying to preserve these species.
These frogs socialize with other frogs by throat sounds and hand waving. Some people found out about the hand waving by a group of amphibian experts.
The male frogs can be up to 1.4 to 1.6 inches long and weigh up to 3 to 5 grams. The female frogs can be up to 45 to 55 millimeters long and weigh up to 4 to 7 grams. That's Bigger than the male frogs!
These frogs are going extinct because of Chytrid Fungus, a deadly disease that may happen because of the climate change. Also other fungus that affects the skins of amphibians that may come from the water and air they breathe and drink. So lets not pollute the air and water because that might be the problem to this whole entire mess. Lets do our part and save these frogs because in a couple of years they might all go extinct!
