The Dendropsophus parviceps is a small frog often called the Sarayacu treefrog. It belongs to the Hylidae family, which includes many treefrogs. These amazing creatures live in the huge Amazon Basin, a vast area of rainforest in South America. You can find them in countries like Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
About the Sarayacu Treefrog
The Sarayacu treefrog is quite common in the places it calls home. Scientists don't think it's in danger right now. These frogs love to hang out on leaves and branches. They live in both old, untouched rainforests (called primary rainforests) and areas where the forest has grown back (secondary rainforests). You might also spot them in open areas, as long as they are close to the forest.
Where They Live
Sarayacu treefrogs need wet places to live. They are often found near swamps, small streams that might dry up sometimes, and ponds that always have water. These moist spots are perfect for them to find food and stay hydrated.
Life Cycle
When it's time to have babies, Sarayacu treefrogs lay their eggs in temporary pools of water. These are usually small puddles or ponds that might not last forever. Once the eggs hatch, tiny baby frogs, called tadpoles, swim around in the water. They grow and change there until they are ready to become adult frogs and live on land.
