We found this chorus frog on the back of a rough skinned newt's back on the ground inside a "burrow" dug into the soil and surrounded by mounded grasses. We found two of these frog/newt duos in separate burrows. We put them back where we found them. What's going on here?

Golden Toad (Incilius periglenes)Observer
herpguyDescription
This pair of now extinct Golden Toads was photographed at the entrance to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve where they were kept for visitors to the park to see since their observance in the wild was limited to only a few days a year during the onset of their breeding season (late May & early June). This species is sexually dimorphic, the males are bright orange or yellow and females are dark brown with red spots.

For those of you who were wondering, yes, I made sure not to hold the salamander for too long, as holding them for too long can injure them.
