Overview

 

Summary

The gastric-brooding frogs or Platypus frogs (Rheobatrachus) were a genus of ground-dwelling frogs native to Queensland in eastern Australia. The genus consisted of only two species, both of which became extinct in the mid-1980s. The genus was unique because it contained the only two known frog species that incubated the prejuvenile stages of their offspring in the stomach of the mother. The combined ranges of the gastric-brooding frogs comprised less than 2000 km² (800 mi²). More information...

  • The Israel painted frog, Palestinian painted frog or Hula Painted Frog (Discoglossus nigriventer) is an extinct amphibian, whose range was limited to the Lake Huleh marshes in Israel. Due to Israeli drainage of the marshes in the 1950s, this rare species disappeared. This species had a dark belly with small white spots. It is colored ochre above and rusty colour grading into dark olive-grey to greyish-black on the sides.
  • Dramatic declines in amphibian populations, including population crashes and mass localized extinctions, have been noted since the 1980s from locations all over the world. These declines are perceived as one of the most critical threats to global biodiversity, and several causes are believed to be involved, including disease, habitat destruction and modification, exploitation, pollution, pesticide use, introduced species, climate change, and increased ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B).

  • The Web-footed Coqui (Eleutherodactylus karlschmidti) also known as Karl's Robber Frog is a possible extinct Puerto Rican frog species from the coquí (Eleutherodactylus) genus.
  • Atelopus longirostris, an arlequin frog or jambato, is a member of the family of true toads: Bufonidae. It has been recorded only in northern Ecuador (all Colombian records are attributed to different species). The scientific name of this species means: long-snout; and the species has been named in Spanish as the Jambato Hocicudo. The species has been classified as extinct, due to huge declines probably related to chytridiomycosis, climate change, among other synergistic causes.
  • The Vegas Valley Leopard frog (Rana fisheri) is an extinct frog species. Once it occurred in the Las Vegas Valley, as well as Tule Springs, Clark County, southern Nevada, United States of America, at elevations between 370 and 760 m. A. Vanderhorst collected ten specimens of this species at Tule Springs on 13 January 1942. These frogs were the last recorded specimens of the Vegas Valley leopard frog, and are now in the University of Michigan Museum of Comparative Zoology collection .
  • The Yunnan Lake Newt (Cynops wolterstorffi) is a species of salamander in the Salamandridae family. It was only found near the Kunming Lake in Yunnan, China. It was found in shallow lake waters and adjacent freshwater habitats. Despite extensive surveys, it has not been seen since 1979, and is therefore considered extinct. The reasons for its extinction are believed to be habitat loss, pollution, and introduced species.
  • Adenomus kandianus is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. It is believed now to be extinct.
  • Atelopus ignescens is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, arable land, and urban areas. It was believed to be the closest relative of the Carrikeri Harlequin Frog.
  • Atelopus vogli was a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. It was endemic to Venezuela. It bred in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It has not been seen since 1933 and is considered to be extinct due to habitat loss.
  • Phrynomedusa fimbriata is a species of frog in the Hylidae family. It is endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers.
