The orange-legged terrestrial nest-building frog (Adenomera aurantiaca) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in rainforests not far above sea level. It only lives in rainforests that do not flood. Scientists have seen it between 78 and 102 m (256 and 335 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in a protected place, Floresta Nacional de Itaituba II, next to the Rio Jamanxim.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. But some of the frogs live near a town called Trairão, which is growing bigger. People also build small farms near the towns.[1]
