The map tree frog (Boana geographica) is a frog that lives in Brazil, Boliva, Colombia, and Peru.[3][1]

The adult male frog may be as big as 55 mm from nose to rear end and the adult female frog may be as big as 75 mm. Unlike Boana calcarata and Boana fasciata, this frog has webbing on its front feet. It has more webbing on its hind feet than on its front feet.[1]

This frog changes color as it grows older. Adult frogs have black marks that connect so that it looks like it has a map on its skin.[1]
