    You have to put the exact species to count the animals. I happen to know that Smithsonian keeps Typhlonectes natans, but in the future I cannot allow you to count unspecified taxa. Thank you :)

    To my knowledge, all animals in captivity labeled as E. tricolor are actually Epipedobates anthonyi.

    Yesterday saw between 50 and 70 amphibians species ( a lot which would be new for my challenge-list ! ) but not a single will count because I saw them at an herp-fair. Some real nice and some real rare species and I've put already some photos in the The Netherlands - other Gallery.

    I need to visit that herp fair! I visited one myself a little over a week ago and probably saw between a dozen and two dozen species I can't count.

    Well I know ztl lists all the animals in Europe to be misidentified anthonyi but as we know ztl can be wrong. I've never seen evidence of true tricolor being around before, though.
