While visiting the Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center, a determined Coyote Peterson of Brave Wilderness and crew trudged through a muddy rainforest at night search of of a gliding tree frog. Peterson had previously showcased a beautiful red-eyed tree frog, and on this particular trip he was able to compare and contrast the two similar, but vastly different arboreal amphibians in an ad hoc face-to-face meeting.
