Habitat & Geographic Range
Collared Titi
Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Coloma’s Glassfrog
Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.
Collared Titi
The Collared Titi, known scientifically as <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em>, is a small New World monkey belonging to the family Pitheciidae. <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em> is characterised by its typically dense, soft fur and a pale or white collar or band around the neck and throat region, which gives the species its common and scientific names. Titi monkeys are generally arboreal and highly social, typically living in small family groups occupying territories in forested habitats. They are known for their distinctive pair-bonding behaviour and loud territorial vocalisations. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Titi is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
Coloma’s Glassfrog
<em>Nymphargus colomai</em>, commonly known as Coloma's Glassfrog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus <em>Nymphargus</em> within the family Centrolenidae. Glassfrogs are named for their translucent ventral skin, through which internal organs are visible, a trait characteristic of this family. This species is classified as Endangered, indicating a high risk of extinction if current conditions and threats persist within its range. It inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats typical of neotropical regions, where glassfrogs are typically found on vegetation near fast-flowing streams. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. The reproductive biology of glassfrogs involves egg deposition on vegetation overhanging water, with hatching tadpoles dropping into streams below. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though centrolenid frogs generally consume small invertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Threats facing <em>Nymphargus colomai</em> include deforestation, stream degradation, and the chytrid fungal disease affecting amphibians globally.
