Allobates wayuu is a frog. It lives in Colombia.[2][3][1]
The adult male frog is 13.6 – 17.4 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 15.8 – 19.7 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is brown in color. The legs are lighter in color with brown stripes across. The sides of the body are also brown. There are cream-colored stropes on the back and sides. The mouth is cream-white in color. The belly is cream and brown-gray in color. The toes of all four feet are brown.[3]
This is awake during the day. It lives in tropical forest with some dry plants. It can live in forests that have been cut down and are growing back. Scientists saw the frog between 210 and 780 m (690 and 2,560 ft) meters above sea level.[2][1]
This frog lives in a protected park: Macuira National Park.[1]
The female frog lays eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to streams and ponds, where they swim and grow.[1] The tadpoles have oval-shaped bodies with eyes toward the top and sides of the head. The tadpoles have black spots everywhere except the belly.[3]
Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out.[1]
