Dendropsophus columbianus (common name: Boettger's Colombian treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Andes of Colombia. [2] Dendropsophus columbianus is a common and adaptable species that lives in disturbed areas that formerly supported cloud forests; it has not been found in closed forests. It is typically associated with open habitats, especially those with some waterbodies (small lakes, reservoirs, grassy marshes or pools, wetlands). [1]
