Colima Peeping Frog

<em>Eleutherodactylus colimotl</em>, known as the Colima Peeping Frog, is a small frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is documented in Mexico, where it is associated with freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands. The genus <em>Eleutherodactylus</em> is one of the most species-rich vertebrate genera in the world, with members found predominantly in the Americas. Unlike many frogs, species in this genus undergo direct development, hatching from eggs as miniature froglets rather than passing through a free-living tadpole stage. <em>Eleutherodactylus colimotl</em> is named after the Colima state of Mexico, indicating its likely primary distribution in that region. Diet information, population estimates, and biological measurements such as average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in available records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its Least Concern status suggests that populations are currently stable within its Mexican range.
