Body

There is a dark brown stripe and a pale white stripe on each side of the body. The legs can be red-brown or orange in color. The male frog's chest and throat are a little purple in color and the female frog's are yellow.[4]
Home
[change | change source]This frog lives near streams in forests that do not flood. Sometimes scientists find it in igapó forests too. It is awake during the day. People have seen the frog between 82 and 221 meters above sea level.[1]
The frog lives in some protected parks, for example Floresta Nacional de Itaituba and Floresta Nacional do Tapajós.[1]
Young

Danger
[change | change source]Scientists say this frog is in danger of dying out.[1]
