ITEM 1-1
Polkadot Treefrog
Beautiful frogs can be found throughout Peru. This is a very delicate and beautiful frog about 40mm with a very pleasing nocturnal song. The colors are incredible and sometimes photos dont justify the species. The lime green skin is semi-transparent with yellow polkadots decorating the dorsal, brown and yellow lateral lines running from head to hind legs, it also displays translucent blue along the flanks. With its gorgeous horizontal pupils, this anuran will attract its mate with a beautiful lunar melody.




ITEM 1-2
Guanaco
There are three types of social groups: family groups, male troops, and solitary males. A family band is composed of a single breeding male, several females, and offspring. Males limit the size of their group by driving out young males of six to twelve months and driving off males and sometimes females trying to enter the group. Males defend a territory that the group resides on, and the territory is demarcated by large communal defecation piles. Only about 18% of males are in a family group; the others are in bands or solitary. The all-male bands are generally made up of young males. Males in these herds learn fighting ability through play fights. The solitary males tend to be mature males looking for females or herds to take over.

ITEM 1-4
Phrynohyas venulosa
This frog is from the hylidae family(New World tree frogs), it is aboreal, this frog is poisonous, for defense it secretes a milky white substance from the dorsal skin layer. I have handle these frogs before on many occasions, when it gets on your hands it dries fast and has a rubber glue effect, it is also somewhat hard to remove from your hands, I always use rubber glove when handling this species.
