Leptodactylus rhodonotus (Peru white-lipped frog or reddish-brown white-lipped frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Its natural habitats are lowland and montane rainforests. People have also seen it in ditches and degraded areas. It has been observed between 200 and 2050 meters above sea level, and in many protected parks.
The female frog makes a nest out of bubbles to put her eggs in. The tadpoles develop in water. The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Peru white-lipped frog sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 81 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 67 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Peru white-lipped frog in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and July–August, the lowest months. Those are among Manu National Park's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in August.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Peru white-lipped frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Peru white-lipped frog sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Leptodactylus
The closest relatives of the Peru white-lipped frog that you can see in Manu National Park (genus Leptodactylus, Neotropical Grass Frogs) are Madre de Dios Thin-toed Frog (about 30%), Loreto White-lipped Frog (about 20%) and Smoky Jungle Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Peru white-lipped frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Manu National Park (81 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.
