The tiny-fingered marsupial frog (Gastrotheca microdiscus) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.
This frog lives high in the trees where the branches come together like a roof. It only lives in forests that have never been cut down. The frogs live in and near bromeliad plants. Scientists have seen the frog between 800 and 1,500 m (2,600 and 4,900 ft) above sea level.
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.
The female frog carries her eggs in a bag of skin on her back. The eggs hatch into small froglets. The froglets live in bromeliad plants.
Scientists from the IUCN say the frog is not in danger of dying out. Scientists think the frog could be in some danger when people change the places where the frog lives to make farms, tree farms, and places for cows to eat grass. Sometimes people come into the forest to take the bromeliad plants because they are beautiful.
