Tiny juvenile specimens of Guajira stubfoot toads [Atelopus carrikeri]. This species is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in northern Colombia. They are critically endangered due to habitat loss and the spread of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Once thought to be extinct, this toad was rediscovered after 14 years by a Project Atelopus team in early 2008. The individuals above were photographed by Jay McGowan.
