Anomaloglossus parkerae

Anomaloglossus parkerae is a frog.  Scientists found it in Venezuela.

Body
The adult male frog can be 19.2 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog can be 24.2 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is gray in color with light brown or olive brown marks. It does not have stripes or marks on its sides, chest, or belly. There is orange-yellow color on its throat. The male frog's male organs are white in color. The iris of the eye is bronze in color.

Food
The adult frogs eat ants, termites, beetles, and other animals with no bones. Scientists believe this frog will eat whatever it can catch.

Home
This frog is awake during the day. It lives on the ground in rainfrests. Scientists saw them on mud in ditches near roads in Sierra de Lema. Scientists saw the frog between 850 and 1300 meters above sea level.

Scientists saw the frog inside a protected park, Canaima National Park.

Young

The tadpoles swim in slow-moving streams where the water is 5–10 cm deep and under rocks in small pools.

Danger
Scientists do not know exactly how much danger this frog is in. Too many visitors come to its forests. People cut down too many trees in the frog's home to make roads and power lines for electricity. Gold mines put bad chemicals in the streams that the frogs need.
