Allobates

***Allobates*** is a group of frogs in the family Aromobatidae. They live in Central and South America. They live as far north as Nicaragua to as far south as Bolivia and Brazil. One frog in this group lives on Martinique.

## Body
Frogs in *Allobates* are small in size. The skin of their backs can either have color that makes them hard to see or bright color. For example, *Allobates femoralis* has bright color. Most of these frogs live on the ground in tropical rain forests. They live on the dead leaves on the ground.  Most of the female frogs put their eggs on the dead leaves on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water. This is true for all but two species in this group.
