Paratelmatobius yepiranga

Paratelmatobius yepiranga is a frog. Scientists have only seen it in one place: Parque das Neblinas in Brazil.

Scientists heard the male frogs calling at night when the weather was rainy. The frogs were in small, muddy ponds in the forest. Scientists think this frog only lives in rainforest where the tree branches come together like a roof. Scientists think the frog lays eggs in small streams and pools and that the tadpoles swim in the water.

Scientists saw the frog 767 meters above sea level. Scientists saw it in Parque das Neblinas, and this park has some of the same place Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, so scientists think it could live in Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar too.
