Proceratophrys pombali

Proceratophrys pombali is a frog.  It lives in Brazil.

Body
The adult male frog is 31.9-41.9 mm long from nose to rear end, and one adult female frog was 52.5 mm long.

Name
Scientists named this frog for Professor José Perez Pombal Jr.

Home
This frog lives in the dead leaves on the ground forests where the branches come together like a roof and in places near the ocean with small, woody plants. Scientists saw the frog between 40 and 670 meters above sea level.

The frog's home is inside part of one protected park Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar.

Young
The tadpoles swim in streams, both streams that are streams all year and streams that dry up for part of the year.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. The frog lives in high places and low places. Much of the frog's home in high places is Atlantic forest, and much of it is in a protected park. In low places, human beings changed much of the frog's home to make towns next to the ocean, but most of this has slowed down since the 1980s.
