Manú poison frog

Epipedobates macero Rodríguez & Myers, 1993 The Manú poison frog (Ameerega macero) is a frog species in the family Dendrobatidae[2][3] found in southern Peru[3][4] and Brazil.

[1] This frog can be found in the drainages of the Manú, Urubamba, Upper Purus and Ucayali Rivers.

It can also be found in Serra do Divisor National Park and Alto Juruá Extractive Reserve.

After the eggs hatch, the adult frog carries the tadpoles to slow-moving streams.

It is locally threatened by habitat loss due to agriculture, and is illegally harvested for the pet trade.
