The Hatchet-faced Treefrogs (Sphaenorhynchus species) are common around forest pools. They call from floating vegetation and have distinctive calls that can be heard from quite a distance. They deposit eggs on the floating vegetation these hatch into tadpoles and develop in the stagnant pools. This Greater Hatchet-faced Treefrog (Sphaenorhynchus lacteus) was photographed in the Peruvian Amazon in 2018. The Lesser Hatchet-faced Treefrog (Sphaenorhynchus dorisae) was named in honor of one of the finest amphibian biologists, Doris M. Cochran, of the Smithsonian Institution. | |
