Upper Amazon tree frog

The upper Amazon tree frog (Dendropsophus bifurcus) is a frog that lives in the upper Amazon basin.  This is in parts of Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia.

The adult male frog is 23 to 28 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 29 to 35 mm long.  This frog is brown in color with white or orange stripes around its head and front legs.

These frogs live on the edges of forests but not in primary forest.  They are good at living in places that human beings have changed.

The males sing for the females after it rains.  The eggs are dark in color.

In Spanish, this frog is called ranita payaso pequeña, or "small clown frog."
