Panamanian golden frogs are the pride of Panama. Sadly, they are extinct in the wild. The deadly amphibian disease chytridiomycosis (chytrid) has devastated frog populations across the world, and Central American species have been hit especially hard. . . . How do frogs become infected? The chytrid fungus starts out as a swimming zoospore — think of it like a microscopic tadpole. It smells out the frog’s skin, burrows into it, and begins to grow. . . .
