Giant Leaf Frog These frogs inhabit drier parts of the treetops,
where they prevent themselves from drying out by wiping wax,
produced by special skin glands, over their bodies. Because of
this, they are sometimes called waxy frogs. Eggs are laid on
large leaves overhanging the water. As the eggs hatch, the
tadpoles fall into the water to begin development. Insects and
other small live prey Giant leaf frogs occupy a large range
within the Amazon rain forest. This species is not threatened.
