Home
This frog spends most of its time in water.  Scientists saw this frog in exactly one place: A spring in Catamarca Province, 4020 meters above sea level.

Scientists have not seen this frog in any protected places.

This frog has young streams.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN and Argentina say this frog is in danger of dying out. Fish from other parts of the world can kill and eat this frog, and human beings let their animals drink from the frog's homes. Scientists think the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis could kill the frog by giving it the disease chytridiomycosis, but they do not think this is happening now.
