One of the most enigmatic extinction events in history took place only a few decades ago in a tiny section of pristine habitat near Monte Verde Costa Rica. Shorty after its discovery, the Golden Toad (Incilius periglenes) suddenly disappeared without a trace. Leaving many to wonder what happened and why.This week I am joined by Kyle and Trevor Ritland. Enamored by the mysterious and sudden disappearance of the Golden toads, Kyle and Trevor made it their mission to investigate what the possible causes were. In their book, The Golden Toad- An Ecological Mystery and the Search for a Lost Species, Kyle and Trevor tell a riveting tale that explores the story arch behind the extinction, introduces us to the players involved, and hints as to whether or not some golden toads may still remain. To find out more visit:https://kyleandtrevor.com/Exo Terra is our sponsor this week.
