About Leptodactylus rhodonotus (Günther, 1869)

Leptodactylus rhodonotus, commonly called the Peru white-lipped frog or reddish-brown white-lipped frog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. This species is distributed across Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Its natural habitats are lowland and montane rainforests, and it has also been recorded in ditches and degraded areas. It occurs at elevations ranging from 200 meters to 2050 meters above sea level, and can be found in many protected parks. For reproduction, female individuals of this species build foam nests to hold their eggs, and the tadpoles complete their development in water.
