Incredible footage of rare Panamanian golden frog!

debs on Feb 3rd 2008

There was some amazing footage on the Science and Nature pages of BBC News yesterday showing the rare Panamanian golden frog waving, wrestling and courting for the first time. In fact, shortly after recording the footage for the BBC One series Life In Cold Blood (which is presented by Sir David Attenborough), the frogs had to be rescued from the wild, due to the threat of chytrid fungus - the whole species is now extinct in Panama and this recording shows their unusual behaviour for both the first and last time in their natural habitat.
