The Campo Grande frog, Cerrado cane frog, or potter foam frog (Leptodactylus furnarius) is a frog. It lives in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in cerrado, Atlantic forest, and pampa places and in ponds, swamps, and grassy places. This frog is good at living in places that human beings have changed. People have seen it on Eucalyptus tree farms. Scientists have seen the frog between 200 and 1364 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in some protected places, for example APA Corumbatai, Botucatu e Tejupa Perimetro Corumbatai, APA Jalapao, PARES do Jalapao, PARES Serra do Ouro Branco, PARNA da Chapada dos Veadeiros, PARNA Grande Sertao Veredas, RPPN Estancia Santa Ines, and RPPN Olavo Egydio Setubal.[1]
Young
The frog lays eggs underground. The tadpoles go through water to ponds.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, the frogs are in some danger when human beings change the places where the frogs live to make farms, dig metal out of the ground, or make other things that people need and use, for example dams.[1]
