The warty toad (Rhinella spinulosa) lives high in the Andes, consequently it has to cope with cold weather. This individual was found moving over a snow drift the night after a blizzard.

The marbled water frog (Telmatobius marmoratus) is one of the two highest elevation frogs in the world, both of which occur in the Cordillera Vilcanota. A threatened species declining from harvesting by humans, destruction of their habitat, introduction of invasive trout, and the chytrid disease.
