Batrachyla antartandica

The marbled wood frog (Batrachyla antartandica) is a frog.  It lives in Argentina and Chile.

Home
This frog can live in cold forests with water in the air, in bogs and other wet places in forests, near ponds, and near lakes with swamps around them. Adults sometimes climb trees. People sometimes see them in gardens and places where animals eat grass. 

Scientists have seen the frog in more than ten protected parks.

Young

The female lays eggs on the ground under logs or moss. Then rain falls and fills the place with the eggs with water. The tadpoles swim in this water. Scientists have seen adult frogs take care of the young.

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 and other things.
