Nymphargus cochranae (common name: Cochran frog) is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in the lower Amazonian slopes of the Cordillera Occidental of Ecuador and adjacent Colombia, though the Colombian records require confirmation.[2]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitats are montane rainforest along streams with steep gradients. It is threatened by habitat destruction and degradation.[1]

gollark: No, it's as hot as the rest of the CPU, roughly.
gollark: > The ES runs asynchronously on a self-timed circuit and uses thermal noise within the silicon to output a random stream of bits at the rate of 3 GHz. The ES needs no dedicated external power supply to run, instead using the same power supply as other core logic. The ES is designed to function properly over a wide range of operating conditions, exceeding the normal operating range of the processor.It isn't very specific.

gollark: I vaguely remember reading that they or some similar system use thermal noise measured with a ring oscillator.
gollark: Really? How interesting.
