Anomaloglossus megacephalus is a frog. Scientists found it in Guyana.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult female frog can be as big as 28.3 mm long from nose to rear end.[4]
Home
This frog is awake during the day. It lives near streams in forests where the tree branches come together like a roof. It lives high on tepui flatlands. Scientists saw it between 1060 and 1490 meters above sea level.[2][1]
Young
Scientists do not know where the female frog lays her eggs. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to streams.[1]
Danger
Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger. It lives in a place where most human beings do not go, but some people dig for gold there, and this can hurt frogs.[1]
