The frog that was killed by the mushroom!!!

The dark brown creature Ecnomiohyla rabborum, or Rabbov's tree frog, with large brown eyes and a flattened muzzle looks more like a puppy than an amphibian. The image is complemented by clumsy paws, namely, on the feet of the housekeeper Kuzi.

This behavior worsened the frogs' lives when the terrible chytridiomycete fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis invaded their comfort zone. This fungus is responsible for the death of many amphibians, and many species have gone to another world. Unfortunately, this frog was also unlucky. That is why everything that is said about her refers to the past tense: "was", "was", "dwelt", etc.

After this disease came to the amphibian lands, the population of the species began to decline rapidly. The last known observation of a frog in the wild dates back to 2007. And the last known individual, an adult male who lived in the Botanical garden in Atlanta,
