Amazon Sheep Frog
When I first caught a glimpse of this odd-looking frog, I thought it was a Greater Hatchet-faced Treefrog. Except it was the wrong color. And not near water. And not a treefrog. But, you know, other than that.
Here is a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on my 2013 MT Amazon Expeditions trip.
