The Myers' thin-toed frog (Leptodactylus myersi) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Suriname, and French Guiana. Scientists think it could live in Guyana too.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in rocky places in rainforests. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 600 meters above sea level.[1]
There are protected places where the frog lives, for example Estação Ecológica do Grão Pará and Reserva Extrativista do Rio Cajari.[1]
Young
This frog makes a nest out of bubbles for its eggs. The tadpoles swim in small rivers that form during the rainy time of year.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN and the Venezuelan Fauna Red Book say this frog is not in danger of dying out.[1]
