#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long
#amphibian
#frog
#poison dart frog
#based on my most popular frog to date (day 651)
#inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like
#here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor)
#(according to the original artists title of the drawing)
#not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)
#i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference
#im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice
#its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other
#while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??)
#while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos
#ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer
#i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor)
#i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re
#and the white is darker and more green?
#i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay
#at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever
#or just the name pet sites are using to sell it??
#i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol
#Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist
#the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags
