The Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) is critically endangered. The toad is endemic to Panama and inhabits tropical forest regions, on mountains and near streams.

Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki)

At one time, it was thought to have become extinct, but this little fellow can be found at the El Nispero Zoo in Valle de Anton about 70 miles from Panama City.

These frogs are not really frogs. They are toads. They are unusual because they communicate by waving at rivals and prospective mates. Frogs and toads are supposed to communicate by croaking. Some think these fellows learned to wave because of the noise of the fast-moving streams. In other words, croaks couldn’t be heard.

Boy oh boy, nature either changes or we never knew such things can happen. Here is a fishing spider from Africa that lurks near water and feeds on fish or in this particular case, with a live frog.

Could that be the way nature responds and is it possible for these spiders to invade cities in the next centuries for a ride on our arms? It’s probably just a freaky-looking arachnid with different taste than a common spider, but that still motivates me to be greener.
