Allobates carajas

Allobates carajas is a frog.  It lives in Brazil.

Body
The frog is about 16.5-19.1 mm long from nose to rear end.  There is a dark brown mark shaped like an hourglass on the frog's back. Both male and female frogs have some bright yellow color.

Home
This frog only lives in forests that human beings have not changed, where the branches come together like a roof.

The frog lives in at least one protected park, Floresta Nacional de Carajás.

Young
The male frog sits on rocks or leaves and calls to the female frogs.  The female frog lays her eggs on leaves. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water.

Danger
Scientists say this frog is in danger of dying out.  Some of these frogs live in places where people cut down forests to make farms and places for animals to eat grass.
