Leptodactylus didymus, the Madre de Dios thin-toed frog, [1] is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. [2] [3]
This terrestrial frog has been seen in primary and secondary rainforests and sometimes urban areas. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 450 meters above sea level. [1]
Scientists have reported the frog in protected places: Tambopata National Reserve, Parque Ambiental Chico Mendes, Reserva Experimental Catuaba, Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor, and Parque Zoobotânico da Universidade Federal do Acre in Brazil. [1]
This frog deposits its eggs in a nest out of bubbles, a few hundred at a time. The tadpoles have been observed aggregating to survive low-water conditions. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. [1]
