Kwet's nest-building frog (Adenomera kweti) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog only lives in forests, Atlantic rainforests.[4] People see it on the dead leaves on the ground. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 1,070 m (0 and 3,510 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places, for example Parque Estadual da Serra do Tabuleiro and Parque Natural Municipal do Maciço da Costeira.[1]
Young
The male frog sits under dead bamboo leaves and calls to the female frogs. Scientists believe 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 big danger of dying out. Human beings cut down forests to make towns, farms, tree farms, places for animals to eat grass, and places to dig sandstone out of the ground.[1]
