Leptodactylus guianensis

The Guiana thin-toed frog (Leptodactylus guianensis) is a frog.  It lives in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, and Venezuela.

Body
The adult male frog is 79.5–109.5 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 66.0–109.2 mm long. Most of these frogs have a light-colored stripe on their mouths. They can have a dark line under each eye.

Name
Scientists named this frog guianaensis because it lives on the Guiana Shield.

Home
Scientists saw the frog in forests that have never been cut down and forests that are growing back, near streams. Scientists think this frog is good at living in places that human beings have changed. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 200 meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen this frog inside protected places.

Young
Scientists think this frog has young the way other frogs in Leptodactylus do: They put their eggs in nests made out of bubbles and the tadpoles swim in water.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is least concern of dying out.
