General Info
Lifespan
1-3 years
Diet
Ranita de sarayacu sustains primarily on a carnivorous diet, specifically focusing on tiny invertebrates. Among these, small arthropods, particularly ants and beetles, are markedly predominant in its feeding habits, offering essential nutrients.
Appearance
Ranita de sarayacu is a small, streamlined frog with smooth skin. It primarily exhibits a vibrant yellow shade, allowing it to blend seamlessly with foliage. This species is further characterized by the presence of black spots scattered across its dorsum and limbs. These distinctive black spots, unique to each individual, serve as an identification marker. No significant differences in appearance occur due to age, gender or subspecies.
Behavior
Ranita de sarayacu exhibits nocturnal, tree-dwelling behavior, relying on camouflage for survival in its natural equatorial habitat. This small anuran species breeds in open, temporary ponds and performs a characteristic chorus-like call during the rainy season. Rather solitary, social interactions primarily occur during mating periods.
