10 Proven Strategies to Improve Your Lead Conversion RateA Caribbean frog species known as the mountain chicken is on the brink of extinction due to the spread of an infectious fungal disease.
The mountain chicken isn’t a chicken at all, but a huge frog three times as heavy as a can of soup and about as long as a large banana. These animals, also known as “chicken frogs” or “giant ditch frogs,” used to be abundant across several Caribbean islands.
“This was one of the quickest declines of any wild species on the planet,” Valenzuela-Sánchez told Mongabay. “It’s not something that occurs very often. But with this fungus, we have observed this rapid and complete collapse of the populations in other places on the planet.” An infectious fungal disease known as amphibian chytridiomycosis wiped out most mountain chickens in the Caribbean.
