Scinax cabralensis is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. Scientists observed some of these frogs 1070 meters above sea level.[1][2]
The adult male frog measures 25.0 to 35.6 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 28.0 to 34.5 mm. Its head is as wide as its body in the dorsal view, and its tongue is large and round. It has disks on its toes for climbing.[2]
This frog is light yellow-green or gray-green in color on the dorsum with dark brown spots. Its iris is copper colored.[2]
Reproduction
This frog is an explosive breeder, laying eggs after it rains. The males have been observed on short vegetation, rocks, or the ground when calling.[2]
