The cause of blue straps and golden legs, this newly described poisonous poison can look into the implement, but it is the only size of a thumbnail, measuring only 17 to 17 part of it backor cloaca.
Esteban Koch At the National Institute of Amazonian research in Manaus, Brazil, and his colleagues found the frog in Brazil’s forests in 2024. The team was officially born and the species were born now Ranitomeya Alberta.
Few knows about the frog, but there are signs about parental care system. Koch’s team did not find any large groups of tadpoles, set out from a large set of eggs. However, they see individuals, especially in water-filled fields where the leaves involve the stem like palm-like plants Phenakospermum Guynanne.
The team saw a female deposit of an egg, suggesting that the eggs were set to sing, as happened to other threaded frogs. “It is possible that the woman returns if the tadpole is progressing and put another unscrupulous egg, so that the tadpole can eat it to gain energy,” says Koch.
Researchers do not know how big is the population of frogs, therefore do not know if it is at risk, but the year between two surveys, they see there dig In the area they are looking for, they have accessed by a small plane and then an 8-hour boat trip to the river. “As frog is genuine specifically in this plant in this area, any little trouble can be dangerous to species,” Koch said.
