WARTY SNOUTED TREE-FROG Scinax acuminatus
A "bathroom tree-frog" at least in the Pantanal area. Though superficially similar to other species of Scinax, this species can be identified by its excessively warty skin. Note that this species lacks the black-and-yellow flash colours of the very similar Scinax fuscovarius.
