Home
Scientists saw this frog in forests near streams in Cerrado places. This frog is awake at night. Scientists saw the frog between 250 and 750 meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen the frog near Parque Nacional Da Chapada Dos Guimarães but scientists have not seen it inside the park.

Young
This frog has young in streams that are only wet for part of the year. THe male frog sits next to the stream and calls to the female frogs.  The tadpoles swim in the streams.

Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in some danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where the frog lives to make towns, farms, and places for animals to eat grass. Climate change can also hurt this frog because the frog needs temporary water to have young, and changes in rain might mean droughts when the frogs could not have tadpoles.
