The riddle poison frog (Ameerega imasmari) is a frog. It lives in Peru.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives near streams in a kind of forest called a purma. People have seen it between 200 and 400 meters above sea level.[3][1]
Many of the places the frog lives are protected parks.[1]
Young
After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to pools of water.[1]
Danger
Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. It is in some danger from fires and because human beings change the places where the frog lives to make farms for themselves and to get wood to build with.[1]
