Summary edit

Description These frogs are excellent jumpers, but their powerful thigh muscles often land them on human dinner plates. Local people refer to this and other endangered frogs as “mountain chicken.” Other large frogs throughout Central and South America are also used in gourmet cooking, and some populations are suffering. One species from the Caribbean island of Dominica has been eaten to the brink of extinction. When disturbed, they open their mouths and produce a loud “squawk.”
