The Amazonian milk frog (Trachycephalus macrotis) is a frog that lives in Peru and Ecuador. Scientists have seen it between 225 and 925 meters above sea level.[1][2]
The adult male frog is 7.0 to 9.2 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 9.4 to 11.9 cm long. It has bronze-colored skin with coffee-colored marks. It has disks on its toes for climbing.[2]
This frog has many young at once after it rains heavily. It is called an explosive breeder because of this.[2]
