Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The head is triangular and slightly wider than it is long. The snout is acuminate, sometimes bulbous. The tympanum is absent. The parotoid glands are well-developed. The fingers and the toes are short, webbed, and have bulbous tips. The dorsum varies from brown to dark brown to reddish brown. The vertebral line is yellow, green, or cream-colored and is lined with black. Habitat and conservation Rhinella ruizi occurs in high-Andean interior forests at elevations of above sea level. Development is probably direct (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage). It is a common species within its range and it may tolerate a low degree of habitat perturbation. The main threats to it are habitat loss and degradation caused by agriculture, livestock, and urban expansion.
