It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, specifically around Mount Gede, Mount Pangaro and south of Sukabumi. The Bleeding Toad’s scientific name, cruentata, is from the Latin word meaning “bleeding” because of the frog’s overall reddish-purple appearance and blood-red and yellow marbling on its back. Geographical range The population declined drastically after the eruption of Mount Galunggung in 1987. It is Knowledge believed that other declining factors may be habitat alteration, loss, and fragmentation. Experts Although the lethal chytrid fungus, responsible for devastating declines (and possible Get Involved extinctions) in amphibian populations globally, has not been recorded in this area, the sudden decline in a creekside population is reminiscent of declines in similar amphibian species due to the presence of this pathogen. Only one individual Bleeding Toad was sighted from 1990 to 2003. Part of the range of Bleeding Toad is located in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Future conservation actions should include population surveys and possible captive breeding plans.

Reporter - May 22, 2019 # 11720 ! 0 Beach volleyball Olympians Sam Schacter, left, and Josh Binstock Whether it’s on the track, in a ring, on a tennis court or on a baseball diamond, Jews have competed against the best of the best. Each of the following athletes has been at the top of their sport. Fanny (Bobbie) Rosenfeld was well ahead of her time when she was in her athletic heyday in the 1920s and ’30s. It was a time when it wasn’t common for women to play sports. Track events were only introduced in the Olympic Games in 1928 and Rosenfeld was there in Amsterdam as a member of Canada’s “Matchless Six” female team. She competed in the discus throw, ran in the 100-metre race, where she came second and earned a silver medal, and won gold in the 4 x 100 metres relay. Rosenfeld was a multi-sport athlete who excelled not just in track and field, but in hockey, golf, tennis, basketball and baseball, as well. She was named Canada’s Female Athlete of the First Half- Century. Bobbie Rosenfeld, seen here at the 1928 Olympics Abigail (Abby) Hoffman, 72, was born a generation or two after Rosenfeld first made an impact on women’s sports, but she too faced an uphill challenge in overcoming social barriers that limited girl’s participation in sports.
