Alsodes montanus

The mountain spiny-chest frog  (Alsodes montanus) is a frog.  It lives in Chile.

Home
People find this frog under stones near streams on mountains. This frog spends most of its time in the water. Scientists have seen the frog between 1300 and 2600 meters above sea level.

Scientists saw the frog in three protected places: Alto Huemules, Río Clarillo, and Río Los Cipreses National Reserve.

Danger
Scientists say this frog is in some danger of dying out. In part of its home, people changed the places where the frog lives to make a place for skiing, so there are bad chemicals.
