Physalaemus Nattereri
''Physalaemus nattereri'' (common name: Cuyaba dwarf frog) is a frog native to central and southeastern Brazil and eastern Bolivia and Paraguay. Description It has two "false eyes" on its rear. The 3–4 cm frog lifts its rear end when threatened, startling predators. If a predator does not get fooled by the eyespots, and decides to move closer, the frog can produce an unpleasant secretion that comes from glands located in the eyespots. Similar display is known from ''Physalaemus deimaticus''. File:Eupemphix nattereri01a.jpg File:Eupemphix nattereri.jpg Reproduction A study in Bodoquena (in the Mato Grosso do Sul state of Brazil) found ''Physalaemus nattereri'' to be an explosive breeder, with most of the reproductive activity occurring within a few days after heavy rainfall. Males formed choruses to attract females but they could also actively search for females. Egg clutches were deposited in the margins of temporary ponds. Several pairs may use the same foam nest.

Physalaemus Deimaticus
''Physalaemus deimaticus'' is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and only known from its type locality in Jaboticatubas, Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais. The specific name ''deimaticus'' is derived from Greek ''deimos'' fror "fear" and refers to the defensive display of this frog, probably aimed at scaring predators. Common names Jaboticatubas dwarf frog and frightening foam froglet have been coined for it. Description The type series consists of three specimens. The holotype is an adult female measuring in snout–vent length. The other female type is of similar size, whereas the male type measures in snout–vent length. The overall appearance is robust. The snout is short. No tympanum is visible. The fingers and the toes are long and have neither webbing nor expanded tips. The dorsum has granulose skin and is light gray to light reddish brown in color. The interorbital stripe, middorsal stripe that splits in two posteriorly, and later ...

Physalaemus Barrioi
''Physalaemus barrioi'' is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Serra do Bocaina in São Paulo state, Brazil. The specific name ''barrioi'' honors , a Spanish botanist and zoologist who lived in Argentina. However, the common name Bocaina dwarf frog has been proposed for it. Description Adult males measure in snout–vent length. The head is triangular and longer than it is wide. The snout is sub-elliptical in dorsal view and acuminate laterally. The tympanum is concealed and the supratympanic fold is weakly developed. The fingers and the toes lack fringes and webbing. Coloration is dorsally brown or green, with some patterning that helps to camouflage the animal. A dark stripe runs from the canthus rostralis to the middle of the flank. The male advertisement call consists of a single, modulated, non-pulsed note lasting about 1.2 seconds. The calls are emitted at a rate of about 8 calls per minute. Tadpoles have an ovoid body when viewed dorsal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Physalaemus Erikae
''Physalaemus erikae'' is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and currently known only from southern Bahia, although it is likely that its range extends into nearby areas in northeastern Minas Gerais and northern Espírito Santo with similar vegetation. Etymology ''Physalaemus erikae'' is named for Erika Costa Elias, wife of Bruno Pimenta, one of the scientists who described the species. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The body is robust. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is weakly distinct. The supratympanic fold runs from the posterior corner of the eye to the shoulder; immediately above it, a more or less weak dorsolateral fold runs to near the inguinal region. The fingers and the toes are long and have neither webbing nor expanded tips. Dorsal skin is warty with scattered short ridges or pairs of well-developed longitudinal ridges. Coloration is variable; preserved specimens may be br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Physalaemus Albonotatus
''Physalaemus albonotatus'' (common name: menwig frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae.

Habitat ''Physalaemus albonotatus'' occurs on the ground near semi-permanent or temporary water bodies or flooded grasslands, its breeding habitat; it also breeds in temperate ponds and roadside ditches. It adapts very well to human disturbance and is in no way threatened. Reproduction A study in Bodoquena (in the Mato Grosso do Sul Mato Grosso do Sul () is one of the Midwestern states of Brazil. Neighboring Brazilian states are (from north clockwise) Mato Grosso, Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Paraná. It also borders the countries of Paraguay, to the southwest, and ... state of southwestern Brazil) found ''Physalaemus albonotatus'' to be a continuous breeder, breeding throughout the wet season.
