The Pará thin-toed frog (Leptodactylus paraensis) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, in the states of Mato Grosso and Pará.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult male frog is 99-129 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 118-140 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is dark with marks on it. There are dark triangles on the mouth.[4]
Home
Scientists see this frog in rainforests that have never been cut down where the branches come together like a roof. People have also seen it in forests where people cut down some trees but never cut down the whole forest.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, for example Tapajos National Forest.[1]
Young
Scientists think this frog makes a nest out of bubbles for its eggs near bodies of water. After the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not some danger of dying out.[1]
