Sanborn's Tree Frog

Dendropsophus sanborni

One of the smallest frogs in Argentina: two centimetres of yellowish tree frog that sings in choruses of hundreds.

What it lacks in size it makes up in volume: on warm nights, hundreds of males call together from the floating vegetation and the chorus carries far. Finding one singing takes a torch, patience and a sharp eye.

Behaviour

Nocturnal. It climbs grasses and rushes at the water's edge, hunting minute insects.

How and when to see it

Warm nights from October to March. Follow the calls along the vegetated edges of lagoons and marshes.
