Eupsophus migueli

Miguel's ground frog  (Eupsophus migueli) is a frog. It lives in Chile.

Body
This frog is  33.5 to 42.0 mm long from nose to rear end. Not all frogs are exactly the same color. Mostly, the skin of the frog's back is red-brown or pink in color. The sides of the body are white. There is yellow color where the four legs meet the body. The belly is white in color.  There are light gray spots on the back. There are light gray rings near the ends of the legs, like bracelets. The iris if the eye is yellow in color with black lines.

Home
People find this frog under logs near streams in forests with Nothofagus plants. Sometimes people find them in small pieces of rainforest or on pine tree farms that have many smaller plants growing on them.  Scientists saw this frog between 30 and 650 meters above sea level.

Young
The adult female frog lays eggs in holes on the sides of hills. The tadpoles are 18.4 - 19.6 mm long with the tail. The tadpoles do not have any color in their bodies or tails.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in danger of dying out.  People change the places where the frog lives to make towns, places for visitors, and farms, for example pine and eucalyptus tree farms. People also change the forest to make places to raise mink and sheep. Fires and too many visitors to the frog's home can also cause problems.
