About the Marbled Tree Frog
Dendropsophus marmoratus (the marmorea frog or South American bird poop frog) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in the Amazon rainforest and montane forests in the eastern piedmont in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador (Morona Santiago, Napo, Orellana, Pastaza, and Sucumbíos provinces), French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. The species is threatened by habitat loss. Dendropsophus marmoratus is a medium-sized frog. The snout–vent length in males averages 35.8 mm with a range of 29.8–41.5 mm, and in females the average is 47.7 mm with a range of 46.5–49.7 mm.
According to Duellman, the snout is round in dorsal and profile view. Eardrums are present. The outer finger of the hand has a membrane to the base of the disc; the other manual fingers have membranes along about 2/3 of their length. The toes also have membranes at the base of the discs. Males in reproduction lack cornified nuptial excrescences. Scalloped skin folds are present on the outer edges of the feet, forearms and hands. The... Wikipedia →
