The Supirio snouted tree frog or olive snouted tree frog (Scinax elaeochroa) is a frog that lives in Nicaragua, Panama, and Costa Rica. Scientists have seen it as high as 700 meters above sea level.[3][1][2]
The adult male frog is 40 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 50 mm long. This frog has a flat body with a round nose that sticks out. Its eyes are large and stick out from its head. These frogs can be different colors of brown, yellow or green.[1]
This frog can hold on to plants straight up and down. It presses its whole body against the leaf. The frog's body acts like a suction cup.[1]
