Blue-legged mantella
The blue-legged mantella (Mantella expectata) is a small species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to the Isalo National Park and areas south of it in Madagascar, a range it shares with the rainbow frog (Scaphiophryne gottlebei). Both are locally common, but endangered due to habitat loss and over-collected for the pet trade.
