A new bright yellow frog species has been found in the mountains of western Panama.
The frog belongs to a species-rich group of frogs, the so-called rainfrogs that lack a tadpole stage, but develop directly as little frogs inside the egg.
Andreas Hertz and colleagues from the Senckenberg Research Institute in Germany discovered the frog in 2010. The frog measures less than 0.8 inches (2 centimeters) and lives in the Serranía de Tabasará of western Panama, a highly understudied part of the Panamanian central mountain range.
