Vicente's poison frog (Oophaga vicentei) is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family that is endemic to the Veraguas and Coclé Provinces of central Panama.[2] It is a little known arboreal frog that inhabits humid tropical lowland and montane forest. It breeds in arboreal vegetation, and the parents transport the tadpoles to forest streams to develop.[1]
