Rocket Frog

Anomaloglossus beebei (common names: Beebe's rocket frog, golden rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. This frog is endemic to Guyana, specifically in the Kaieteur National Park. It mainly survives on the giant bromeliad called Brocchinia micrantha. The phytotelmata of this bromeliad is the site of oviposition and tadpole rearing and are defended over time by the males. The females of this species are more brightly golden colored whereas males are more of a dull tan with brown pigmentation. Males take care of offspring and are preferred due to the elongation of their calls. #pindleindonesia #guidebook
