Cochranella resplendens is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the upper Amazon Basin in southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and San Martín Region of northern Peru.[1][2][3][4] It is sometimes known as the resplendent Cochran frog.[2]

Description

Male measures about 27 mm (1.1 in) in snout–vent length; female size is unknown. Dorsum is green with whitish dots.[4]

Habitat and conservation

The species' natural habitats are lowland tropical primary and secondary rainforests as well as sub-Andean forests. It occurs on vegetation near running water. The eggs are laid on leaves above streams. Outside the breeding season it might inhabit the forest canopy.[1] It is a rare species[4] threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation.[1] Its rarity, however, may be an artefact caused by inadequate methods to observe it.[4]

gollark: ... should I create a bug report?

gollark: It returns two, actually. The second one. I don't know *what* the first one is doing.

gollark: Is this some weird implementation thing or is Lua actually defined/specified to work like this?!

gollark: Apparently `function(...) return (fn(...)) end` behaves differently to `function(...) return fn(...) end`. WHAT IS HAPPENING.

gollark: It doesn't look like it, though, as the code really only does much if an error occurs.
