The unforeseen terrestrial nest-building frog (Adenomera inopinata) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in rainforests not far above sea level. Scientists have seen it 143 m (469 ft) above sea level. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground.[1]
Scientists have not seen these frogs in any protected places, but Parque Nacional Da Amazônia is about 40 kilometers from where they did see it. Scientists think the frogs may live there.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know how much danger this frog is in. Human beings change the places where the frogs live to make towns, farms, and places for animals to eat grass. The place where scientists first saw the frog is inside Floresta Nacional De Itaituba, but people build things right next to it.[1]
