Crossing the Cabot Tower parking lot under the cover of darkness. Specimen appeared inquisitive to human presence during illuminated video collection, and afterwards seemed generally at ease. Specimen appeared to possess the 'silver fox' coat pattern.
Sadly, one of the last individual, if not the very last, before extinction. More info at My World of Bird Photography
Over 100 toads seen along 200 m of trail through elfin forest, with Marc Hayes
Date is approximate. 3 individuals (2 males & 1 female) seen sometime in April, 1987. My mother and father (@dmpeterson ) were living in Monteverde in the spring of 1987, staying with the Gavin family. I have been digitizing their old slides, and thought these ones were significant, so I uploaded them. The date and location are approximate, based on their best recollection.
photographed in captivity but collected nearby by others
This pair of now extinct Golden Toads was photographed at the entrance to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve where they were kept for visitors to the park to see since their observance in the wild was limited to only a few days a year during the onset of their breeding season (late May & early June). This species is sexually dimorphic, the males are bright orange or yellow and females are dark brown with red spots.
