Waxy monkey frog. (Phyllomedusa sauvagii)  The waxy monkey frog is a hylid frog native to the Chaco (dry prairie) of Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Their common name describes them perfectly; their skin has a green, waxy appearance, and rather than hopping like many other frogs, they walk in the trees like a monkey. The Waxy monkey frog spends almost it’s entire adult life in the trees, only moving briefly during the rainy season for the female will lay her eggs, even then not fully leaving the trees. The female lays her eggs down the middle of a leaf overhanging a stream, then glues to edges of the leaf together creating a kind of… leaf..egg..sandwichy type thing (technical term, yes), so the hatching tadpoles can drop into the stream later without the eggs being put a risk of predators.
