The Lara Andean collared frog (Mannophryne larandina) is a frog. It lives in Lara in Venezuela.[2][3][1]

Groups

Scientists think this might be the same frog species as Mannophryne yustizi, but they are not sure.[1]

Home

This frog lives in forests on mountains. Scientists saw the frog 1800 meters above sea level.[2][1]

There is one protected park near where the frog lives, Parque Nacional Dinira, but scientists did not see the frogs inside it.[1]

Young

Scientists think this frog has young the same way other frogs in Mannophryne do: The female frog lays eggs on land. The male frog watches the eggs. After the eggs hatch, the male frogs carry the tadpoles to water.[1]

Danger

Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. It may be in danger from people changing the places where it lives to make farms.[1]
