The Golden eyed or Blue-sided Tree Frog (Agalychnis annae) is a very colourful amphibian with pink, lavender, orange and blue on its limbs and sides, contrasting with its uniform green upper surface. The large eyes of the blue-sided tree frog are yellow-orange, which gives the frog its other common name, the golden-eyed leaf frog. As in other Agalychnis species, the eyes of this frog have vertical pupils.

The Peralta frog, or montane leopard frog, Lithobates taylori, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae found in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The specific name taylori honors Edward Harrison Taylor (1889–1978), an American herpetologist. 

Peralta frogs are relatively large frogs, 6–8.5 cm (2.4–3.3 in) in snout–vent length. Colouration of dorsum is tan, green, or gray, often with large elongated black spots with clear edges. The dorsolateral folds are clear but become discontinuous towards the back. Belly is white. Feet are extensively webbed.

Peralta frog is a nocturnal, semi-aquatic frog inhabiting ponds, swamps, and marshes in lowland wet forest, premontane moist and wet forests, and rainforest. Breeding takes place during the wet season. The eggs are attached to aquatic vegetation. The tadpoles develop in these wetlands. It may be threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation, possibly by also water pollution from agricultural pesticides.
