Heyer's tropical bullfrog (Adenomera heyeri) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog can be awake at night. This frog lives in the Amazon. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground in forests that have never been cut down. People do not see it in places that people have changed. People do see it in steep places. Scientists have seen this frog between 0 and 800 m (0 and 2,625 ft) meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists have seen these frogs in a protected place, Parque Nacional Carrasco.[1]

Young

The male frogs fight each other when it is time to call to female frogs. The male frog digs a hole in the ground for the female frog to put her eggs.[1]
