The Tapajós terrestrial nest-building frog (Adenomera tapajonica) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives near the Tapajós River rainforests that have never been cut down. Scientists have seen it between 78 and 118 m (256 and 387 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in one protected place, Parque Nacional Da Amazônia. There are other protected places next to this one, and scientists think the frogs may live there too.[1]
Young
The male sits on top of the dead leaves on the ground and calls to the female frogs. Scientists believe this frog puts its eggs in a nest made out of bubbles on top of the ground, not near water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where the frogs live to make towns, farms, and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
