Kihansi spray toad - The Kihansi spray toad, Nectophrynoides asperginis, is a dwarf toad, with adults reaching no more than three quarters of an inch long. It was discovered in 1996. It was found only in the spray zone around the Kihansi and Mhalala waterfalls in the southern Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania. It is now listed as an extinct species in the wild due to a restricted range, habitat loss and a declining population. This was due to a hydroelectric project being built in 1999, which reduced the amount of silt and water coming down from the waterfall into the gorge by 90 percent. This led to the spray toad's microhabitat being compromised, as it reduced the amount of water spray, which the toads were directly reliant on for oxygen. This also meant that the toad may have been more susceptible to a chytrid fungus, which was believed to have been transported by conservationists' boots. This chytridiomycosis, which in 2003 was confirmed to be in dead animals of the species, was possibly responsible for the sudden population cra

Kokoe poison frog - The Kokoe Poison Dart Frog is the smallest of the three most-toxic members of the genus Phyllobates. While it is small, it is just as toxic as the Phyllobates bicolor when encountered in the wild. This is one of the more audible of the Poison dart frogs and has a call often described as beautiful and bird-like. The young frogs of the Phyllobates genus resemble this species, possessing black body with a green, orange, or gold U-shaped pattern starting at the snout. The two larger species' colors fill in the black, leaving a mostly solid colored frog while many P. aurotaenia retain this pattern into adulthood as well as small sky blue speckles on the black areas of the body. This species is found in the Atrato and San Juan drainages of Colombia. As a vivarium subject, this frog is an active animal that will make use of vertical space. Kokoe dart frogs are highly social frogs that require high humidity, cool temperatures, and larger prey items than many dart frogs. They do not engage in wrestling behavior among
