Small frog draws scientific interest
A new species of tree frog has been discovered in Costa Rica. It is characterized by its small size, not exceeding 4 centimeters. The frog is nocturnal and appears in a dark green color with a mottled pattern. This species inhabits mountainous regions and prefers coffee trees as its habitat, relying on small insects for its diet. Despite benefiting from the coffee plantations environment, its presence in these areas exposes it to the dangers of pesticides used in agriculture, which can reach its environment through air and soil. Notably, its natural habitat extends to areas away from farms, indicating its ability to adapt to different environments. However, further research is needed to understand the extent to which chemical substances affect its survival.
