Scinax tsachila is a frog. Scientists have seen from sea level to 1207 meters above sea level. It lives on the Pacific side (west side) of Colombia.[1][2][3]
Appearance
[change | change source]The adult male frog is about 27.2 to 34.2 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 33.2 to 36.4 mm long. This frog is medium-brown in color. Sometimes it has stripes down its sides and sometimes it does not.[2][3]
