Izecksohn’s Brazilian tree frog

Izecksohn's Brazilian tree frog (Xenohyla truncata) is a species of tree frog, which are typically arboreal amphibians found on all continents except Antarctica. Tree frogs, particularly those in the family Hylidae, are known for their slender bodies, long legs, and adhesive disks on their fingers and toes that aid in climbing.1

Izecksohn's Brazilian tree frog is unique because it acts as a pollinator, transferring pollen between plants as it feeds on milk fruit. It is the only known amphibian to do so. Most tree frogs lay their eggs in water or on vegetation overhanging water, with tadpoles hatching and dropping into the water below.1
