About the Phyllomedusa camba Frog
This frog belongs to a group of tree frogs called Phyllomedusinae. These frogs are often called "leaf frogs" because they live in trees and sometimes look like leaves. The Phyllomedusa camba was first described by a scientist named De la Riva in the year 2000.
Where Does It Live?
The Phyllomedusa camba frog likes to live in warm, wet places. Its favorite homes are:
- Moist lowland forests, which are forests that are not very high up and get a lot of rain.
- Wetlands that sometimes dry up, like temporary marshes.
- Gardens in the countryside.
- Forests that used to be thick but have been changed a lot by people.
Is It in Danger?
Good news! The Phyllomedusa camba is a very common frog. There are lots of them, and their numbers are staying steady. This is because there are still many big areas of forest where they can live. So, right now, there are no big dangers to this frog.
However, there is a global threat to all frogs and toads called chytrid fungus. This is a serious disease that can make frogs sick. Scientists are always watching out for it.
Many places are working to protect this frog. For example, in Peru, the Manú National Park helps keep these frogs safe. There are also many protected areas in Bolivia and Brazil that are important for the Phyllomedusa camba.
