The Marahuaca tree frog (Stefania marahuaquensis) is a frog. It lives in Venezuela.[2][3][1]
Home
People see adult frogs on rocks next to streams. Scientists have seen the frog between 340 and 1,200 m (1,120 and 3,940 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frogs in a protected place, Duida-Marahuaka National Park.[1]
Young
Scientists think the female frogs carry their eggs on their backs and that the eggs hatch into small froglets, not swimming tadpoles.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in some danger of dying out. Climate change could hurt this frog because it lives in such a small place. Viruses, bacteria, and fungi could also hurt this frog by making it sick.[1]
