The stripe-throated rocket frog (Leucostethus brachistriatus) is a frog. It lives in Colombia.[2][3][1]

Home

[change | change source]

This frog lives on the ground near streams in forests on the hills near the Andes Mountains. Scientists saw them about 1500 meters above sea level.[1]

Some of the places this frog lives are protected, for example Ucumari Regional Reserve and Barbas-Bremen Ecological Corridor.[1]

Young

[change | change source]

The female frog lays eggs on the dead leaves on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the adult frog carries the tadpoles to streams.[1]

Danger

[change | change source]

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. But people cut down the forests where it lives to make farms and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
