The purple and orange leaf frog (Calllimedusa duellmani) is a frog that lives in Peru. Scientists have only seen it in one place.[3][1] People have seen this frog between 1,850 and 1,910 meters above sea level.[2]

This frog lives in cloud forests. The female frog finds a leaf over water and folds it. She lays her eggs in the fold. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[2]
