The eyelashed forest frog, Perez's foam-nest frog, rana de espuma de Perez, or Perez' snouted frog (Edalorhina perezi) is a frog. It lives in Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador.[2][3][1]

Body

The adult frog is 24 - 37 mm long from nose to rear end. There are pieces of skin above each eye that people say look like eyelashes.[3]

Home

This frog is awake during the day. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground in forests on the east side of the Andes mountains. People sometimes see it in forest that was cut down and is growing back. Scientists have seen the frog between 100 and 1,100 m (330 and 3,610 ft) above sea level.[1]

Scientists have seen the frogs in protected places.[1]

Young

This frog has young in pools of water that dry up for part of the year. It puts its eggs in a nest made out of bubbles that floats on the water.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say they not in danger of dying out. Some of the frogs may be in danger when human beings change the places where the frogs live to make farms and get wood to use.[1]
