About the Cocha Chirping Frog

Adenomera andreae (common name: lowland tropical bullfrog, Göldi's thin-toed frog, rana dedilarga de Göldi) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the lowlands of northern South America east of the Andes (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). As currently defined, it probably represents a cryptic species complex, comprising perhaps four species.

Adenomera andreae are small frogs, usually less than 30 mm (1.2 in) in adult body length. Dorsum is grayish brown to beige, occasionally with dark brown spots, and rarely with a vertebral dark brown stripe and/or dorsolateral orangish yellow stripe. The ventral surfaces are white. Iris is chestnut.

Eggs are laid in foam nests on the ground. Tadpoles are terrestrial: they are endotrophic and develop in the nest. Recruitment of juveniles is synchronized with rainfall. Its predators include large tarantulas. This terrestrial frog lives in lowland primary forest with well-drained soil. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 400 m (0 and 1,312 ft) above sea level. Many subpopulations live in protected areas. The IUCN classifies... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Cocha Chirping Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Manu National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates.
