Amazon Milk Frog - Entry

hi for my first blog entry pertaining to frogs, I decided I'd make it about one of my favorite species! 

The Amazon Milk Frog

Scientific Name: Trachycephalus resinifictrix

Higher Classification: Trachycephalus

Family: Hylidae

Conservation Status: Least Concern! 

  • The Amazon Milk frog is one of the largest species of frog in South America! They can grow up to 4 inches. 
  • They get their name not from their color but rather from the secretions the frog might secrete with threatened
  • They are also known as "The Mission golden-eyed tree frogs" because of the unique yellow color that their eyes are. 



Current Known Threats 


- The Amazon Milk frog is a tree frog, so one of it's main threats is habitat loss due to deforestation.
