About Koechlin's Treefrog
Koechlin's treefrog is a type of frog that spends a lot of its time in trees and bushes. Like all frogs, it starts its life as a tadpole in water before changing into an adult frog.
Where Do They Live?
You can find Koechlin's treefrog in several countries in South America. They live in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. Scientists also think they might live in Colombia, but this needs more checking. These frogs prefer warm, wet places.
Their Home Environment
Koechlin's treefrogs love to live in subtropical or tropical areas. Their favorite homes are moist lowland forests. These are forests that are not very high up and get a lot of rain. They also like to live near marshes, which are wet, grassy areas. Sometimes, these marshes might dry up and fill with water again, which is why they are called "intermittent" marshes.
Conservation Status
The good news is that Koechlin's treefrog is currently listed as "Least Concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This means that, for now, there are plenty of these frogs in the wild, and they are not considered to be in danger of disappearing.
