Allobates melanolaemus is a frog. It lives in Peru.[2][3][1]
This frog is awake during the day. It lives in Loreto Province. It lives in rainforests that are not high above sea level. Scientists saw the frog as high as 200 meters above sea level. This frog lives near streams but, unlike other frogs in Allobates, it sometimes goes partway into the forest. People have seen it as far as 25 m away from streams. Other frogs in Allobates stay closer to streams.[3][1]
Scientists think the frog could live in one protected park: Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Regional Conservation Area.[1]
Scientists think the female frog lays eggs on the dead leaves on the ground and that, after the eggs hatch, the adult frog carries the tadpoles to streams, like other frogs in Allobates do.[1]
Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Human beings do not go to its home much and there are large areas of good forest.[1]
