One night some of us went out on a small boat to see if we could find any caimans or tree boas or other interesting critters. We had a low-critter night, though. This cute little frog was the only herp I saw on the entire trip (people on the other side of the boat saw a couple more frogs). But, it was a new species for me, so still a good frog to find.

Here is a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on my 2014 MT Amazon Expeditions trip.

On our first night hike of this trip to Peru, Cliff or Ben (I forget which one) noticed this interesting frog crouched down on a leaf at about head height. I recognized it as a Hatchet-faced Treefrog, because, well, it has a hatchet-shaped face. Also it was in a tree. But I was surprised to see it at this location, because all of the Sphaenorhynchus species are usually found in or close to ponds, and there was no nearby pond.
