Artist's notes:
 This
drawing is based upon some studies and photos taken at the
new reptile and amphibian house at the Oakland Zoo. Oddly
enough, the woman who is responsible for the breeding of
these rare frogs for zoos and aquariums in the US contacted
me recently asking if she could use the image for her husbandry
guide. I explained how I made the drawing, and it turns
out the golden frogs in the Oakland Zoo came from her frog
farm!

Information about the Panamanian Golden
Frog:
The Panamanian Golden Frog is a small, brightly-colored,
toad-like frog. Females are larger than males, measuring
about 2 inches (53 mm) to the male’s 1.8 inches (45 mm).
The frogs inhabit tropical forest regions, particularly
on mountains, near streams. Curiously, this critically endangered
amphibian has been shown to communicate by waving its hands
in a form of sign language.
