The slender warted tree frog or slender bug-eyed frog (Theloderma petilus) is a frog. It lives in Vietnam in the Muong Nhe Nature Reserve. It also lives in Laos and Thailand. Scientists think it may live in China.[2][3][1]
Body
[change | change source]The adult frog is about 33.8 mm long from nose to rear end. This frog is soft yellow-brown in color with black stripes. There is some lavendar color on the tops of the legs.[4]
Home
[change | change source]This frog lives in forests on hills that have evergreen trees and bamboo in them. People have only seen it in forests. People have seen the frogs on plants about 1 meter above the ground. People have seen this frog between 20 and 600 meters above sea level.[1]
Young
[change | change source]Scientists think this frog hatches out of its egg as a tadpole because that is what other frogs in Theloderma do.[1]
Danger
[change | change source]Scientists say this frog is in some danger of dying out because it lives in a small place. People cut down forests to make farms. This frog lives in at least two protected parks: Phou Dendin National Biodiversity Conservation Area and Muong Nhe Nature Reserve.[1]
