Hydrolaetare caparu, the Caparu forest frog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and Bolivia.[2][3][1]
This frog lives in seasonally flooded forests. Scientists have observed the frog between 68 and 185 meters above sea level. Scientists believe the frog digs a burrow for the dry season.[1]
Scientists have reported these frogs inside Parque Estadual de Corumbiaria and suspect it in another protected area, Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado.[1]
Reproduction
The free-swimming tadpoles develop in streams.[1]
