Topic Sentence
Abstract
Phyllomedusa bicolor, also known as the giant tree frog, is a common amphibian found throughout the Amazon Basin Rainforest. This is the largest tree frog in the world characterized by a dark green color and white underside. It has a life cycle similar to many other frogs: egg, tadpole, mature frog. The skin of the giant tree frog has unique attributes that allow protection against sun damage, prevent dehydration and combat infection. The eyes of the tree frog have vertically slits, common in nocturnal creatures. The giant tree frog evolved with similar species over 200 million years ago. Indigenous people in Peru use skin secretions in a ritual called Kampo, to give hunters luck. Phyllomedusa bicolor is a fascinating frog common in rainforests with interesting adaptations that has cultural significance to native Peruvians.

Species Profile of the Giant Monkey Frog Phyllomedusa bicolor
Introduction
One of the most common frogs found in the richly diverse Amazon Basin is Phyllomedusa bicolor, the giant monkey tree frog. This amphibian, also known as the blue and yellow frog, bicolored tree frog, giant leaf frog or the waxy-monkey tree frog, lives throughout the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia and Peru (Frost, 2009). “Phyllomedusa” refers to the tree-dwelling nature of this frog; often times it can be seen clinging to the tops of leaves (Neckel-Oliveira & Wachlevski, 2004). This organism has an intriguing life cycle, evolutionary history, and anatomy. It is also a crucial part of a unique tradition with indigenous peoples of the Amazon Basin area.
