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.

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.

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 →
