Silverstoneia gutturalis is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It lives in Colombia, in Chocó, in the Río Atrato watershed.[2][3][1]
This frog lives in shady lowland forests between 30 and 450 meters above sea level. This frog has only been found during the day, so scientists suspect it is diurnal. All specimens were collected in 1968 and 1970.[1]
Reproduction
Scientists infer that the female frog lays eggs on the leaf litter and, after the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water, as other frogs in Silverstoneia do.[1]
