rusty tree frog
Hypsiboas boans
4.57025, -52.4689
Field Notes
Description:
Large frog, rusty brown or greenish.
Habitat:
Common in South America, in the jungle near streams.
Notes:
This frog is heard before it is seen; its loud call sounds like a dog barking, hence the name "boans" which means "barking".
The males hollow out a small puddle, and wait for females to lay their eggs inside (photo n° 3).
