Description
Agalychnis lemur, the white eyed leaf frog, is a critically threatened species (formerly Hylomantis lemur and Phyllomedusa lemur). The species has endured serious population declines throughout its range in Central America. Deadly amphibian chytrid fungus is believed to have played a part in the species' decline as has habitat destruction. IUCN lists it as endangered. The species deposits eggs on leaves above a water source where they develop until they hatch. Hatching tadpoles drop into the water below. This individual is from a population in Central Panama.
