Amphibians beginning with Y

Yellow bromeliad frog - The Yellow Bromeliad Frog is a species of frog in the Hylidae family. It is endemic to Jamaica. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Yellow mantella - The Yellow Mantella is a species of frog in the Mantellidae family. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, and swamps.It eats insects,spiders,snails,woodlice.crabs,and small lizards. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Yellow-banded poison frog - D. leucomelas is found in the northern part of continent of South America, most notably in Venezuela. It is also found in parts of Guyana, Brazil and very unlikely, but possibly the extreme eastern most part of Colombia This amphibian is normally found in very humid conditions in tropical rain forests, close to fresh water. It is often found on flat rocks, trees, plants and the leaf litter of the forest floor. During the dry season, specimens are known to congregate in damper places such as under rocks or fallen tree trunks.

Yellow-bellied Toad - Adult: The larger of the males and females are between 35 and 55 mm, making them very small for Archaeobatrachians. Their top side is grey-brown, often with washed-out, bright spots. Their underside, including the inner sides of the limbs, fingers and toes is grey-blue to black-blue with striking, bright yellow to orange spots or patches, usually covering more than half of the underside. Yellow-bellied toads have a compact body - though not so flat as the related European Fire-bellied Toad - and a rounded snout. The pupils are heart-shaped, with the eardrums not visible. The overside has numerous warts with raised swirls.

Yellow-spotted tree frog - Litoria moorei is a member of the Litoria aurea complex, being distinguished by cream markings on its thighs. The overall colour is pale green and the dark to black spots are highlighted by the bronze patches. The toes are entirely webbed, the species favouring permanent water bodies. The species has faced a number of factors which may lead to extinction, having become critically endangered by changes in land use, primarily agriculture. No recorded sighting had been made since 1975 and the species was thought to be extinct. However, in March 2010 New South Wales Fisheries field scientist Luke Pearce located a population of the frogs, thus meaning that they are not extinct as once believed.

Yellow-throated frog - The Yellow-throated Frog, Ranita Montanera, or Sapito Acollarado Costero is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is found in Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montanes, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, and inland karsts. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Yenyuan stream salamander - The Yenyuan Stream Salamander is a species of salamander in the Hynobiidae family. It is endemic to China. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater lakes, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Yonahlossee salamander - The Yonahlossee Salamander is a species of salamander in the Plethodontidae family. It is endemic to the United States.

Yosemite Toad - The Yosemite toad is a species of true toad. It is endemic to the United States. Its natural habitats are temperate grassland, rivers, intermittent rivers, swamps, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, and tundra wetlands. It is threatened by habitat loss. It lives mainly in Yosemite National Park in California.

Yunnan lake newt - The Yunnan Lake Newt is a species of salamander in the Salamandridae family. It was only found near the Kunming Lake in Yunnan, China. It was found in shallow lake waters and adjacent freshwater habitats. Despite extensive surveys, it has not been seen since 1979, and is therefore considered extinct. The reasons for its extinction are believed to be habitat loss, pollution, and introduced species.
