About the Strawberry poison dart frog
The Strawberry poison dart frog is a amphibian in the family Dendrobatidae (order Anura). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”.
What does the Strawberry poison dart frog sound like?
Male frogs and toads call by pushing air over their vocal cords into a vocal sac that acts as a resonator. Each species has its own call, so choruses can be identified by ear – and calling peaks on warm, wet nights.
The recordings here are labelled as oophaga pumilio call. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
From Wikipedia
The strawberry poison frog, strawberry poison dart frog or blue jeans poison frog (Oophaga pumilio, formerly Dendrobates pumilio) is a species of small poison dart frog found in Central America. It is common throughout its range, which extends from eastern central Nicaragua through Costa Rica and northwestern Panama. The species is often found in humid lowlands and premontane forest, but large populations are also found in disturbed areas such as plantations. The strawberry poison frog is perhaps most famous for its widespread variation in coloration, comprising approximately 15–30 color morphs, most of which are presumed to be true-breeding. O. pumilio, while not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids, is the most toxic member of its genus.
