Eagle is the common name for many large birds of prey of the family Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related. Most of the 60 species of eagle are from Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just 14 species can be found—2 in North America, 9 in Central and South America, and 3 in Australia.
Hylidae is a wide-ranging family of frogs commonly referred to as "tree frogs and their allies". However, the hylids include a diversity of frog species, many of which do not live in trees, but are terrestrial or semiaquatic.
Agalychnis callidryas, or better known as the red-eyed tree frog, is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia. The scientific name of the red-eyed treefrog, A. callidryas, comes from the Greek words kalos and dryas.
The glass frogs are frogs of the amphibian family Centrolenidae. While the general background coloration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is transparent and translucent. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through the skin, hence the common name is given as glass frog. Their transparency becomes jeopardized once on land however. They are considered more as translucent than true transparency. Glass frogs are arboreal, meaning they mainly live in trees, and only come out for mating season.
Hylomantis is a genus of tree frogs, the rough leaf frogs, native to the Atlantic forest in eastern Brazil. There are two recognized species; several others formerly placed in this genus now are placed in Agalychnis.
The blue-sided leaf frog, also known as the orange-eyed leaf frog, is an endangered tree frog of the family Phyllomedusidae native to the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama. The specific name annae honors Ann S. Duellman, the collector of the holotype and the describer's wife.
Cruziohyla is a genus of frogs in the family Phyllomedusidae. They occur from Honduras in Central America south to the Amazon Basin in South America. This genus was erected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae and fully reviewed in 2018. Species in this genus were previously placed in the genera Agalychnis or Phyllomedusa.
Morelet's tree frog is a species of leaf frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is found in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. They have also been called black-eyed leaf frog and popeye hyla.
Agalychnis saltator is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is found in the Caribbean lowlands from north-eastern Honduras through Nicaragua to east-central Costa Rica at elevations of 15–1,300 m (49–4,265 ft) asl. Its common names are parachuting red-eyed leaf frog and misfit leaf frog.
The gliding tree frog is a species of frog in family Phyllomedusidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. Other common names are the gliding leaf frog, Spurrell's leaf frog, and pink-sided tree frog. The specific name, spurrelli, is in honour of British zoologist Herbert George Flaxman Spurrell.
Agalychnis buckleyi is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Agalychnis danieli is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae, or alternatively, subfamily Phyllomedusinae in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Colombia and only known from its type locality in the northern part of the western flank of the Cordillera Occidental in the Antioquia Department. The specific name cochranae honours brother Daniel Gonzales Patiño, a Colombian monk with naturalist inclinations who became the director of Natural History Museum of the Instituto de La Salle, Bogotá. Common name Antioquia leaf frog has been proposed for it.
Hylomantis granulosa is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil where it is only known from Amargosa, Bahia, and Recife; the type locality is the Zoo Botanical Park Dois Irmãos in Recife. Its natural habitats are lowland forests, including secondary forests. Breeding takes place in streams. Threats to this species are related to habitat loss.
Agalychnis hulli is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is found in north-eastern Peru and in adjacent regions of Ecuador.
Agalychnis lemur, the lemur leaf frog or lemur frog, is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae, also treated as the subfamily Phyllomedusinae in the Hylidae. It is found in Costa Rica, Panama, and adjacent northwestern Colombia. It is classed as Critically Endangered and threatened by the fungal disease chytridiomycosis.
Agalychnis medinai is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is endemic to the central part of the Venezuelan Coastal Range. It is sometimes known as the Rancho Grande leaf frog.
Agalychnis dacnicolor, the Mexican leaf frog, is a species of frog in the family Phyllomedusidae. It is endemic to Mexico.
Phyllomedusidae is a family of frogs found in the Neotropics commonly called leaf frogs. Alternatively, they are often considered as a subfamily of the family Hylidae, the tree frogs.
Agalychnis terranova is a frog endemic to Colombia. Scientists have seen it between 240 and 900 meters above sea level.
