The golden toad, scientifically known as *Incilius periglenes*, was a small, brightly colored amphibian native to the cloud forests of Costa Rica. It was last seen in 1989 and is now considered extinct, primarily due to habitat loss and climate change. The golden toad was notable for its vivid orange color and was one of the first species to draw global attention to the amphibian extinction crisis.
