Woodley's tree frog or Woodley's Stefania is a frog. It lives in Guyana.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in tropical forests that have never been cut down on and near Pakaraima Mountain. People see it on rocks or tree branches near streams. Scientists have seen the frog between 100 and 900 m (330 and 2,950 ft) above sea level.[2][1]
People have seen the frogs in a protected place, Kaieteur National Park.[1]
Young
The female frogs carry their eggs on their backs. The eggs hatch into small froglets, not swimming tadpoles.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know if the frog is in danger of dying out. People mining dig for gold and diamons in Kaieteur National Park, even though this is against the law.[1]
