Ranitomeya cyanovittata

Ranitomeya cyanovittata is a frog.  It lives in  Peru. Scientists think it could live in Brazil too.

Body
The adult male frog is about  13.8 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 17.3 mm long. The skin of the frog's body is black with light blue spots and stripes all over the body, head, and legs. There are also some brown marks on the belly. The iris of the eye is black in color.

Home
This frog is awake during the day. It lives in forests that people have not changed too much. The frog lives near streams and other waters. People have seen this frog looking for food in dead leaves on the ground. People have seen this frog between 200 and 400 meters above sea level. This frog's young live in pools of water in Heliconia plants.

Danger
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place.  This place is far from towns and cities, so human beings do not change it much.

At least one of the places this frog lives is a protected park: Parque Nacional del Serra do Divisor.
