Adenomera diptyx is a frog. It lives in Brazil and Paraguay. Scientists think it could also live in Bolivia and Argentina.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog lives in Pantanal places, but it can live in many other types of places. It is good at living in places that human beings have changed. People sometimes see it in gardens. Scientists have seen it between 50 and 900 m (160 and 2,950 ft) meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, for example Chapada dos Guimarães Protection Area.[1]

Young

The male frog sits on the grass or other plants and calls to the female frogs. The female frog puts her eggs in a nest made out of bubbles in a hole underground. The tadpoles are carried to water.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not some danger of dying out. In some places people change the places where it lives with fires, to make places for cows and to make other things that people need.[1]
