Endangered
Inti Andes Frog
Phrynopus inti
Inti Andes Frog is a rainfrog in the family Craugastoridae (order Anura) — Phrynopus inti, recorded as Endangered and tied to Peru.
The rainfrog
These New World rainfrogs typically skip a free-swimming tadpole: eggs are laid on land and froglets hatch directly.
Frogs and toads typically begin as aquatic tadpoles, though some families lay eggs on land and hatch as froglets. Skin and eggs both need moisture.
Range and habitat
Inti Andes Frog is a anuran from the Craugastoridae family, found in the Pui Pui Protection Forest, in Peru.
GBIF currently lists 10 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Direct-developing rainfrogs live in wet forest. They do not need a pond, which is why a logged hillside can erase a species.
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
In crisis
Direct-developing frogs vanish with the forest floor. There is no pond population waiting off-site.
