Oreobates Amarakaeri
''Oreobates amarakaeri'', also known as Amarakaeri's big-headed frog is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae, which is endemic to a small region of south-eastern Peru, in the Manú District, and parts of the Puno Region. The frog was first discovered near the Rio Nusinuscato and Rio Mabe rivers in the Andean foothills of the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve The Amarakaeri Communal Reserve (''Reserva Comunal Amarakaeri'') is a protected area in Peru located in the Madre de Dios Region, Manú Province. It protects parts of the Southwest Amazon moist forests and Peruvian Yungas ecoregions. Located in t ..., which are tributaries of the Rio Araza. Since then the species has also been found at the Manú Learning Centre and near Bahuaja Sonene National Park, but weren't fully confirmed to be there until 2019 when four specimens were collected at those localities.Ttito, Alex, and Alessandro Catenazzi.

Frog
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura (ανοὐρά, literally ''without tail'' in Ancient Greek). The oldest fossil "proto-frog" '' Triadobatrachus'' is known from the Early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock dating suggests their split from other amphibians may extend further back to the Permian, 265 million years ago. Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforest. Frogs account for around 88% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders. Warty frog species tend to be called toads, but the distinction between frogs and toads is informal, not from taxonomy or evolutionary history. An adult frog has a stout body, protruding eyes, anteriorly-attached tongue, limbs folded underneath, and no tail (the tail of tailed frogs ...

Strabomantidae
The Strabomantidae are a family of frogs native to South America. These frogs lack a free-living larval stage and hatch directly into miniature "froglets". This family includes ''Pristimantis'', the most speciose genus of any vertebrate. Systematics The following subfamilies and genera are in the family Strabomantidae. *Holoadeninae **''Bahius'' Dubois, Ohler, and Pyron, 2021 **''Barycholos'' Heyer, 1969 **'' Bryophryne'' Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008 **'' Euparkerella'' Griffiths, 1959 **''Holoaden'' Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920 **''Microkayla'' De la Riva, Chaparro, Castroviejo-Fisher, and Padial, 2017 **'' Noblella'' Barbour, 1930 **'' Psychrophrynella'' Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008 **''Qosqophryne'' Catenazzi, Mamani, Lehr, and von May, 2020 *Hypodactylinae **''Niceforonia'' Goin and Cochran, 1963 *Pristimantinae **''Lynchius'' Hedges, Duellman, and Heinicke, 2008 **'' Oreobates'' Jiménez de la Espada, 1872 **'' Phrynopus'' Peters, 1873 **''Pristimantis ''Prist ...

Endemic
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example ''Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. ''Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Puno Region
Puno () is a department and region in southeastern Peru. It is the fifth largest department in Peru, after Cuzco, Madre de Dios, Ucayali, and Loreto. It is bordered by Bolivia on the east, the departments of Madre de Dios on the north, Cusco and Arequipa on the west, Moquegua on the southwest, and Tacna on the south. Its capital is the city of Puno, which is located on Lake Titicaca in the geographical region known as the Altiplano or high sierra. Puno was the territory of the Tiahuanacos (800 A.D. – 1200 A.D.), who were the highest cultural expression of the Aymara people who established themselves in what is today Peru and Bolivia. The Incas took over these lands in the fifteenth century, and the Spanish, attracted by the mining industry developed there, left an important Colonial legacy throughout the entire area. Geography The department of Puno is located in the Collao Plateau. The western part of Lake Titicaca, which is the world's highest navigable lake, is lo ...

Andes
The Andes, Andes Mountains or Andean Mountains (; ) are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. The range is long, wide (widest between 18°S – 20°S latitude), and has an average height of about . The Andes extend from north to south through seven South American countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Along their length, the Andes are split into several ranges, separated by intermediate depressions. The Andes are the location of several high plateaus—some of which host major cities such as Quito, Bogotá, Cali, Arequipa, Medellín, Bucaramanga, Sucre, Mérida, El Alto and La Paz. The Altiplano plateau is the world's second-highest after the Tibetan plateau. These ranges are in turn grouped into three major divisions based on climate: the Tropical Andes, the Dry Andes, and the Wet Andes. The Andes Mountains are the highest mountain ra ...
