Colostethus brunneus (Cope, 1887) |
The Chupada rocket frog (scientific name: Allobates brunneus) is a type of frog. It belongs to a family of frogs called Aromobatidae. These frogs are known for being quite small.
Where Does This Frog Live?
This special frog can be found in South America. It lives in the southern part of the Amazon River basin. This area includes parts of Brazil, specifically in the states of Mato Grosso and Amazonas. You can also find it in the very northern part of Bolivia.
What is Its Home Like?
The Chupada rocket frog loves to live near water. Its natural habitats are the edges of lakes and small pools. These are often places where the water doesn't move much. It lives in tropical rainforests. Sometimes, it lives in forests that get flooded during certain seasons.
Is This Frog in Danger?
Sadly, the Chupada rocket frog is facing a threat. Its biggest problem is habitat loss. This means that the places where it naturally lives are disappearing. People might be cutting down forests or changing the land. This makes it harder for the frogs to find food, shelter, and places to lay their eggs. Scientists are working to protect these important habitats.
