Pithecopus palliatus is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and possibly Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss. It has been observed between 100 and 400 meters above sea level.
The adult frog measures 37.7 to 43.8 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 38.8 to 49.1 mm. This frog lays eggs near temporary bodies of water, such as flooded places. They lay eggs on overhanging leaves, and then the tadpoles fall off the leaves into the water. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Jaguar Leaf Frog sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 67 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and March–April
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Jaguar Leaf Frog in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jaguar Leaf 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jaguar Leaf Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Manu National Park (43 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.
