Mayumi na igat na may kulay-kayumanggi

Nakakaganyak na mga Katotohanan

Kapag nanganganib, sinusubukang magmukhang mas malaki ng mga batang-igib sa gubat na may amoy sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalaki ng kanilang mga baga at pagtayo nang may tuwid na paa sa apat na binti. Ipinagkakaloob nila ang kanilang balat ng isang madulas at parang-mucus na likido na nakakapinsala sa maraming hayop at maging sa paglabas ng malakas na sigaw.

Mga Pisikal na Katangian

Adults can grow up to seven inches in length. They have brownish-colored backs with black markings and cream-colored underparts. Males have black spines on their chests and thumbs to more easily grasp females during mating.

Lokasyong tirahan/pagkain

This nocturnal amphibian will spend the daytime hours in burrows, leaf litter, or under logs in subtropical or tropical lowland forests, swamps, riverbanks or marshes in northern South America. Tadpoles are omnivorous, eating algae as well as eggs of their own species. Adults are opportunistic feeders, eating insects and other small reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and even birds.

Sosyal na Pag-uugali

Males will call from the water’s edge to attract females. Females lay up to 1,000 eggs in a foam nest, which is located in a shallow depression near a water source. Predators of smoky jungle frogs include snakes, caimans and coatimundis.
