The Paraná tropical bullfrog (Adenomera araucaria) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Home

This frog lives in Atlantic forests. It can live in forests where the branches come together like a roof and in rainforests that were cut down and have been growing back. It can live on tree farms if the tree farms are thirty years old or older. It can only live in forests. Scientists have seen it between 300 and 1,100 m (980 and 3,610 ft) above sea level.^[3]

Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places: Área de Proteção Ambiental da Serra da Esperanca, Área de Proteção Ambiental do Alto Rio Turvo, Floresta Nacional de São Francisco de Paula, Parque Estadual Itapeva, Parque Estadual Serra Furada, Parque Nacional da Serra do Itajai, and Parque Nacional de Aparados da Serra.^[3]

Young

Scientists think this frog has young on land in foam nests.^[3]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, it is in some danger when human beings change the places where it lives to cut down trees and make farms and places for cows to eat grass.^[3]
