Plectrohyla chrysopleura is a frog that lives in Honduras.  Scientists have seen it between 930 and 1550 meters above sea level.

Name

The Latin name for this frog chrysopleura comes from the Greek words chrysos, for "gold," and pleura for "side." It is named after the yellow marks on the sides of its body.

Appearance

The adult male frog is 5.7 to 6.6 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 6.3 to 6.6 cm long.  This frog has teeth.  It has disks on its toes for climbing.  This frog is gray in color with some bronze.  It has yellow marks on its sides.  Its eardrums are bronze or copper in color.  Its belly is yellow-gray.  Its legs are yellow and olive green.

Adult female frogs and young frogs of both sexes have some dark brown color too.

Home

This frog lays eggs in streams.

Threats

Scientists think this frog is endangered because human beings change the places where it lives when they cut down trees for logging, turn forests into farms, or let cows and other animals eat grass in them.  It is also endangered because of not enough rainfall, floods, and climate change.  The fungal disease chytridiomycosis can also kill this frog.

Other Game of Death movies after the death of Bruce Lee. After the first appearance, in 1973, of The Game of Death within the documentary Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend, several studios exploited the situation by making their own versions of Game of Death based on what they had learned of the story from production stills and magazine articles. Some of these films pre-dated Robert Clouse's Game of Death (1978 movie). Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death (1975), Enter the Game of Death (1978), The True Game of Death (1979) and others. The sequel Game of Death II, is a kung fu action mystery film directed by Ng See-yuen which used cut footage from Lee's Enter the Dragon to have him make an appearance in the beginning of the film, only to be killed off midway, allowing his on-screen brother to take on the role of protagonist. Aside from the international English dub giving the Bruce Lee  character the name Billy Lo, this movie appears to have no connection with Clouse's film.

The Kara Koyunla or Qara qoyunlu (, ) were a tribal alliance of Oghuz tribes. They ruled Azerbaijan, Armenia, eastern Anatolia, and northern Iraq from 1375 to 1468.  The Kara Koyunlus settled in the south of Lake Van. They became strong in Erzincan, Sivas and in the north-eastern lands of Eastern Anatolia in the 1370s. The Kara Koyunla fought against the Aghgoyunlus, Jalairis, and Teymurids.

The Kara Koyunlu dynasty was founded by Bayram Khoja.  His successor, Qara Muhammad, became related to Jalairi Sultan Ahmad in order to end problems with the Jalairi.  This led to the capture of the western part of Azerbaijan, including Tabriz. The Kara Koyunlular become a great empire during the rule of Gara Yusif.  In a battle against the Timurids and Jalairis, Gara Yusif created a large state from Azerbaijan. This united Eastern Georgia, Arab Iraq and Ajam Iraq. Qara Iskander, the son of Qara Yusif, restored the rule of Kara Koyunlu in 1421. Sultan Shahrukh left Tabriz, he entered the city.  When Shah Rukh returned, all the lands he had captured were recaptured by Black Alexander. 

After Alexander the Great, Jahan Shah came to power.  Jahan Shah was one of the powerful rulers of Kara Koyunlu.  During his time, Kara Koyunlu culture developed.  Jahan Shah wrote poems in Azerbaijani Turkish and Persian under the pseudonym "Haqiqi".  He expanded the area of the Kara Koyunlu empire. Hasanali Mirza, came to power after the death of the emperor in 1467, He was killed by Uzun Hasan and the Kara Koyunlu empire collapsed. 

According to the German Turkologist Gerhard Doerfere, it is very strange that the word "Turkmen" still confuses the Aqqoyunlu and Kara Koyunlu Turkmens.  The word Turkmen actually means "nomadic Oghuz. Aghgoyunlu and Kara Koyunlu".
