Eleutherodactylus pentasyringos is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to Jamaica.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This species occurs in the north of the Blue Mountains and the John Crow Mountains, extending to the northeastern coast of Jamaica. They are found at the attitudinal range is from sea level to 1,275m asl.[1][2] It is found in mesic forests (montane rainforest, wet limestone forest, elfin woodland) in rocky areas of this region. The range is limited and its forest habitat is declining rapidly due to agriculture, human settlement, and logging. Eggs are laid on the ground and it breeds by direct development. The population of the species is decreasing and is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

gollark: But I don't have an actual shrek movie to work from, only this 8MiB transcode.

gollark: Probably, then?

gollark: That is probably impossible at *any* remotely usable framerate/resolution.

gollark: I kind of want to do this to video stuff *I* have - compress it to ridiculous levels to fit in a Discord upload.

gollark: ffmpeg can play it back fine.
