The green bright-eyed frog (Boophis viridis) is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. The average size of the males reaches 29–30 millimetres (1.1–1.2 in), while the females can grow to about 32–35 millimetres (1.3–1.4 in). The hands and feet are webbed. Their dorsal skin is smooth and green in color, sometimes with reddish spots, as well. They also have the ability to change colors and become more reddish brown. Their inner and outer irises are blue.
Males call at night while in vegetation about 1–2 metres above the ground, along streams, and also by ditches. When the weather is dry, a calling green bright-eyed frog has also been found up as high as 5 m. The calls are a combination of two inharmonious note types that include a long note repeated in short pulses and a shorter note consisting of three repeated notes.
Breeding takes place in streams. One pair of frogs can have as many as 154 dark-brown eggs. The species is not currently threatened. The reasons for possible decrease in population include: General habitat alteration and loss

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Bright-eyed Frog sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 7 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Green Bright-eyed Frog in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–June and August–September, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Bright-eyed Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Mantadia National Park, in our data
Mantadia National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green Bright-eyed Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Bright-eyed Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Mantadia National Park (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
