The jaugar leaf frog or jaguar monkey frog (Pithecopus palliatus) is a frog that lives in Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia. Scientists think it might also live in Colombia.[3][1] People have seen it between 100 and 400 meters above sea level.[2]
The adult frog is 37.7 to 43.8 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 38.8 to 49.1 mm long.[1]
This frog lays eggs near bodies of water that are not there all year, for example flooded places. They lay eggs on leaves near the water.[1] Then the tadpoles fall off the leaves into the water.[2]
