TIL of the Neotropical Armored Catfish. Which are also called "plecos". The plecos can move around on land surprisingly well. Researchers had to invent a new word to describe it: reffling. Plecos have been spotted in Florida emerging from drains in parking lots to hunt and eat earthworms. blog.nature.org/science/2…
No one pays attention to the "boring" brown hatchlings.... until they turn into this. Sterling, my 2 1/2 year old Neotropical bird eating snake is stunning.
A very rare and colorful toad, the purple Hoogmoed harlequin toad (Atelopus hoogmoedi): it is a slow-moving, neotropical toad that congregates along mountain streams during the breeding season. Its populations are under severe threats because of mining and agriculture.
