Arrow Poison Frogs
Arrow Poison Frogs
In December of 2009 I recieved an email requesting permission to use a couple of my arrow poison frog photos in an amphibian conservation document. I was also informed that these frogs had been extinct for some time. Of course I gave permission for their use for this conservation effort. I was greatly saddened with the idea that these animals had gone extinct and that mine would among the last ever taken of them. I have added dates in parenthesis so folks can see when these photos were taken.
