The Teresina de Goiás tropical bullfrog (Adenomera cotuba) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in Cerrado places and in places with limestone rock, for example savannas and dry forests. Scientists have seen it between 275 and 840 m (902 and 2,756 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, for example Área de Preservação Ambiental Pouso Alto and Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros.[1]
Young
This frog puts its eggs in nests made out of bubbles. Scientists think the tadpoles grow in the nest.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in some danger of dying out. It lives in a place where human beings have cut down too many forests. The frog lives in savanna grassland and dry forests, and people make those places into big farms. Dams for electricity may also be a danger to this frog.[1]
