Ecuador is home to 460 species out of the 4700 living amphibians. Therefore, almost 10% of the world's population is concentrated in this small territory, representing one of the highest amphibian's diversities on earth.

Rainfrogs
Ecuador is home to nearly 200 out of the 900 species known worldwide. There are two families that can be easily recognized by shape, colours, and lifestyle. Leoptodactylus: All nocturnal and terrestrial, coloured tan to brown, bigger frogs. Eleutherodactylus: Mainly nocturnal and arboreal, have expanded discs on toes to provide a firm grip on leaves and branches, smaller frogs.

Poison-Dart Frogs
Ecuador is home to 55 out of the 170 existing species worldwide. Lots of these frogs are just in our land and nowhere else in the world. They come from the family Dendrobatidee and are normally brightly coloured, tinny, and have large eyes. Many sleep at low vegetation, usually less than a meter above the ground. Their extremely lethal poison has been used since ancient times by natives in the area, for hunting monkeys with blowguns.
