Anomaloglossus guanayensis is a frog. Scientists found it in Venezuela.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog is awake during the day and lives in forests on mountains. Scientists saw the frog in exactly one place, Serranía de Guanay. They saw it between 1650 and 1800 meters above sea level.[2][1]

Scientists saw this frog inside Monumento Natural Cerro Guanay, a protected place.[1]

Young

The male frogs sit near streams and call to the female frogs. Scientists think that the tadpoles swim in streams.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out but also not in no danger at all. Climate change could hurt this frog by killing the plants in its home. Diseases from viruses, bacteria, and fungi could also hurt this frog.[1]
