Scinax nasicus
The small-nosed tree frog is a small frog about three centimeters long. It lives on trees and bushes in South America and has a pointed snout.
The small-nosed tree frog differs from related species by its pointed snout shape and unique mating call. It is beneficial to nature because it controls insect populations and serves as food for birds and snakes.
Catches prey with a long sticky tongue.
