About the Rosenberg's Gladiator Frog
Rosenberg's treefrog (Hypsiboas rosenbergi), also known as Rosenberg's gladiator frog or Rosenberg's gladiator treefrog, is a species of frog in the family of tree frogs (Hylidae) and genus of gladiator frogs (Boana) found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and north-western Ecuador. Its scientific name is a testimony to Mr. W. F. H. Rosenberg who collected the type series, and its common name refers to the aggressiveness of males of the species.
The size of H. rosenbergi varies based on the population that they belong to, with individuals from the Costa Rican population being smaller in size than those from the Panamanian population. In the Panamanian population, males of H. rosenbergi measure on average 83 mm (3.3 in) in snout–vent length and females 86 mm (3.4 in). Females also tend to be heavier than males.
It has partly webbed fingers and entirely webbed toes and large disks on both fingers and toes. Its skin is granulated with small warts, and yellowish, greyish, or reddish in colour, with brown or blackish marbling or spots. It also has dark worm-like markings across the dorsal surfaces of the body and limbs, with gray-white undersurfaces and... Wikipedia →
