Dendropsophus Branneri
''Dendropsophus branneri'' is a small Tree frog, hylid tree frog endemic to the Atlantic Forest region of Brazil. It feeds mainly on Arthropod, arthropods and is preyed upon by various invertebrates (e.g., giant aquatic bugs, spiders) and vertebrates (e.g., snakes, birds). Although currently classified by the IUCN Red List, IUCN Redlist as "least concern", ''D. branneri'' suffers rapid habitat loss due to residential development, agriculture, logging, and clearing for pastureland. Male ''D. branneri'' are noted for their fighting call, which differs significantly in frequency, duration, and pulses per call compared to their mate advertisement call. Males are also noted for their willingness to escalate physical altercations against other males, which includes kicking, pushing, and wrestling their opponent into non-dominant positions. Unlike most other frog species, ''D. branneri'' can breed in both temporary and permanent pools allowing it to inhabit a wide variety of habitats lead ...

The fingers are webbed at the base, whereas the toes are slightly more than one-half webbed. Coloration is sexually dimorphic: males have dull yellowish green dorsal surfaces of body and limbs, while these are pale golden brown or beige in females. The concealed surfaces of the limbs are ...

Dendropsophus Bromeliaceus
''Dendropsophus bromeliaceus'', or Teresensis' bromeliad frog, is a frog in the family Hylidae, endemic to Brazil. Scientists have only seen it in the mountains in the Reserva Biológica Augusto Ruschi.\ The adult male frog measures 16.1–18.4 mm long in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is light brown in color with a wide, cream-colored dorsolateral stretching from behind the eye to the inguinal region. There is another stripe in the middle of the back.
