Telmatobius fronteriensis

The Ascotán salt flat frog (Telmatobius fronteriensis) is a frog.  It lives in  Chile. Scientists think it could also live in Bolivia.

Home
Scientists saw this frog in a pool of water in a stream. The stream flows through Chile and Bolivia. The place near the stream was very dry and grassy. The scientists saw the frog 4150 meters above sea level.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out, with no more than 249 adult frogs alive at the same time. Human beings changed the places where the frogs lived by taking the water from the streams to use. People used to dig in the ground for sulfur near where the frog lives, but they do not do this now. They do still dig for copper near there.
