Osteocephalus carri is a frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Colombia. It has been found in the Amazon lowlands and lower parts of the Andes mountains.[1][2] Scientists have seen it as high as 700 meters above sea level.[3]
Scientists used to consider this the same species as Osteocephalus buckleyi, but observation of tadpoles showed them to differ considerably.[3]
