The Kayapó terrestrial nest-building frog (Adenomera kayapo) 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 between 121 and 701 m (397 and 2,300 ft)above sea level.[1]
Scientists have not seen these frogs in a protected place, Floresta Nacional de Carajás. They may also have seen it in Parque Nacional Dos Campos Ferruginosos.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. However, it lives in a part of the Amazon where human beings cut down many forests to make big farms, small farms, and places for animals to eat grass. People also dig in the ground for copper, gold, and manganese, which can hurt the frog.[1]
