Cryptobatrachus fuhrmanni
Cryptobatrachus fuhrmanni commonly known as Fuhrmann's backpack frog is a species of frog belonging to the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Colombia and occurs on all three Andean cordilleras: the eastern slope of the Cordillera Occidental, the northern and eastern flanks of the Cordillera Central, and the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental. The specific name fuhrmanni is in honor of Otto Fuhrmann, a Swiss zoologist and helminthologist.

The dorsolateral folds are thin, and the skin on the dorsum is finely granular with scattered larger warts. The fingers lack webbing but expanded disks at the tips with subarticular adhesive pads present.Female frogs carry eggs on their backs, which undergo direct development, hatching as froglets.
