Looks like Spiderman: Dart Frog

This frog is a real rarity - it has an incredible burst of colorful flames on its head and contrasting water-patterned legs. It’s a newer species, announced by the World Wildlife Fund in October under the species name 'Ranitomeya amazonica.'

These poison dart frogs are native to the Amazon jungle. The species was first discovered and singled out in 1999 and has been found on a national reserve in Peru. Each year, a new bird is found and every four years a new mammal discovered in the Peruvian Amazon, a haven for biodiversity where conservation and danger often go hand in hand.
