Izecksohn's bromeliad frog (Crossodactylodes izecksohni) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in bromeliad plants that grow on the ground. These plants and frogs only live in forests that have never been cut down, not forests that are growing back. The adult frogs are awake at night. Scientists saw the frog between 680 and 993 meters above sea level.[2][1] About half of these frogs live in two protected parks: Reserva Biologica Augusto Ruschi and Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia.[1]
Young
This frog has young all year. Both the male parent and female parent take care of the eggs and tadpoles. The tadpoles look for food during the day and at night.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in danger of dying out. People cut down the forests where the frog lives to make farms, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
