The legs are lighter in color with brown stripes across. The sides of the body are also brown. There are cream-colored stropes on the back and sides. The mouth is cream-white in color. The belly is cream and brown-gray in color. The toes of all four feet are brown.[3]
Home

This frog lives in a protected park: Macuira National Park.[1]

After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to streams and ponds, where they swim and grow.[1] The tadpoles have oval-shaped bodies with eyes toward the top and sides of the head. The tadpoles have black spots everywhere except the belly.[3]
