The adult frog is 60.8 mm (2.39 in) to 69.6 mm (2.74 in) long from nose to rear end. It has disks on its toes for climbing. This frog is green with yellow marks around its eyes. It has pink-white spots on its sides and white spots on the insides of its legs. Parts of its legs and middle are purple.[1]
This frog hides during the day and looks for food at night. When it is time to lay eggs, the frogs leave the forest and go to a swamp if they can.[1]
The scientific name of this frog, "camba," comes from the indigenous people who live in Bolivia.[1]
