Dendropsophus triangulum, commonly known as the triangle treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is native to the Amazon Basin of Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, but may also be present in Colombia. [1]
Dendropsophus triangulum is known from Brazil (Acre, Amazonas, and Pará), Ecuador (Orellana and Sucumbíos), and Peru (Cusco and Loreto) at altitudes of 37–387 m (121–1,270 ft) above sea level. [1] [2] It can be found in primary and secondary tropical rainforests, around temporary ponds in clearings near forests, and in aquaculture ponds. [1]
Dendropsophus triangulum reproduces in temporary water bodies, with tadpoles developing in water after hatching from eggs laid on leaves. [1]
