It's a trip you'll never forget!! You should visit National Park San Antonio. It's a wonderful place.

Unfortunatly no... Only those pictures.

Can't tell... He didn't show too much.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us.

Those frogs were in a Zoological setting, correct?

Yeah that's what I was thinking, like with the screens on the left

Yes Phil, those were in a tank in a zoo.

I saw some in the wild too.

I was not trying to disparage your post, pics or your Costa Rican experience.

Some of the frogs that are kept in Zoos and public display are not representative of actual local frogs. Costa Rica administrators will often use frogs obtained from different areas of the country to display.

I was going to ask you about location for further reference had those pics been shot in situ....

Thats all......

 

[JuniorSabadu]

Phil, the pics were taken near Quepos, and the keeper said the frogs were from the jungle near the zoo.

The ones I saw in the wild, were near the Quepo's Volcano.

Very cool ! Thanks.

Nice pics man. Do you know if they were having luck keeping multiple adults like that?

 

[JimO]

Great shots - those are my favorite frogs.

Thanks for the pictures. It is interesting to see the variability within the frogs, from the speckling to the leg color to how much blue is on the legs. For example, I would have guessed the 4th picture is an almirante if I didn't know it was a blue jeans. I know you said you don't have any shots from further back, do you have any pictures of the frogs you saw in the wild? How did the wild frogs compare in appearance to these?

I had the same thought.

I think the 2nd 3rd and 4th is the same frog though

I really don't know... They all seem healthy, but not sure how long they were inside the tank.

I know you said you don't have any shots from further back, do you have any pictures of the frogs you saw in the wild?

Here they are...

Hope you enjoy them!

The other weird thing about photographing orange and red pumilio in situ is that the reds and oranges tend to come out different on disk. Orange can look red and red can look orange - especially when flash is used ect ect.

I wish I knew more about photography to better understand that issue...

Just has to do with oversaturation/undersaturation of the picture. More often than not, you have issues with oversaturation when using the flash, so colors appear lighter than they actually are. Undersaturation can happen if you have too fast a shutter speed when using the flash, but that tends to rarely happen, especially if you're using defaults.

Cool frogs. I'm looking forward to hit a few new Costa Rican populations this winter!
