The Rio Branco tropical bullfrog or Chico Mendes' terrestrial nest-building frog (Adenomera chicomendesi) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in Amazon places. It lives in forest that has never been cut down and forests that are growing back. People also see it in small pieces of forest in towns. Scientists have seen it between 167 and 242 m (548 and 794 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, for example Tambopata National Reserve, Amboró National Park, and Parque Zoobotânico from Universidade Federal do Acre.[1]
Young
The male frog hides or sits on top of the dead leaves on the ground and calls to the female frogs. Scientists believe this frog puts its eggs underground.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Human beings cut down forests to make towns, farms, tree farms, places for animals to eat grass, and places to dig sandstone out of the ground.[1]
