Home
This frog can live in many different kinds of places. Scientists have seen them on grassy places with acacia plants, rainforests, other forests, marshes, and in cold places. Scientists saw this frog between 0 and 1000 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in many protected parks.[1]
Young
The male frog sits under a bush and calls to the female frogs. The female frog lays eggs on the dead leaves on the ground in the forest. Then rain falls and fills the place with the eggs with water. The tadpoles swim in this water. Scientists have seen adult male frogs take care of the young.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out and scientists from Chile say it is in only a little danger of dying out. People cut down too many trees to make farms, tree farms, towns, and places for cows to eat grass.[1]
