The tody tyrant-voiced nest-building frog (Adenomera phonotriccus) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult male frog is 19.8–21.6 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is medium brown with black marks on it. The legs are red-brown in color. The iris of the eye is copper in color. The belly is cream colored. Its call lasts much more time than other Adenomera frogs' calls: 213–433 ms.[4]
Name
Scientists named this frog phonotriccus for the Greek phono for "voice" or "sound" and triccus, which is a small bird.[4]
Home
This frog lives in Amazon rainforests that have never been cut down. Scientists have only seen it in one place, near the Araguaia River. Scientists have seen it between 166 and 176 m (545 and 577 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have not seen these frogs in protected places.[1]
Young
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 very big danger of dying out. It lives in a part of the Amazon where human beings have cut down too many forests. People are still cutting down trees in the only place it still lives to make very big farms, tree farms, and [[grazing|places for animals to eat grass]. Dams for electricity may also be a danger to this frog.[1]
