Latonia nigriventer - underside
still in the Terrarium of the Jerusalem Zoo -
one of the interesting characteristics of the Latonia nigriventer, is the underside - it is black with white dots. this one got a little mixed in the dry vegetation, so I got the opportunity to take a picture of its underside.
The Hula painted frog is a species of frog endemic to the Lake Hula marshes in northern Israel. It is the only living member of the genus "Latonia," which is otherwise known from fossils from Europe spanning from the Oligocene through Pleistocene. The Hula painted frog was thought to be extinct as a result of habitat destruction during the 1950s until the species was rediscovered in 2011.
