This picture, emphasizing the frog's size was taken by A. Catenazzi. This creature is obviously very well adapted to it's environment, as can be seen from it's size and brown camouflage. But what exactly is it's environment? That would be the the lowland rainforests of the Andes. This particular discovery was made in the Manu National park. The amphibian lives in altitudes above 3000 meters, a height where most species of animals are larger than in near sea-level areas. So this frog was quite a surprise. This discovery might encourage future explorers to delve deeper into the mysteries of rainforests.
