Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis This is the smaller and slightly less well marked Tiger Leg Frog and can be found in regions of Southeast Bolivia, Northwest Argentina and a large part of Paraguay.
Their natural habitat is in warm and dry forests where during the day, they can be found on the underside of leaves or stems of branches.
Their colouring is a vibrant lime green and whitish belly with striking orange tiger stripes on the inside of their legs (hence their name “Tiger Leg”). Unlike other frogs that jump, these frogs prefer to walk from branch to branch.
They are an average sized frog with males reaching up to 2 inches. Females can reach up to 2.5 inches and have a more rounded body shape. The other tiger legged frog (Super Tiger Leg Monkey Tree Frog (Phyllomedusa tomopterna) is slightly larger and has more pronounced markings on their legs and undersides)
