WARTY SNOUTED TREE-FROG Scinax acuminatus CHACO
A "bathroom tree-frog" endemic to the Chaco. Though superficially similar to other species of Scinax, this species can be identified by its excessively warty skin. Note that this species lacks the extensive and conspicuous black-and-yellow flash colours of the similar Scinax fuscovarius.
