Leptodactylus kilombo is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
Scientists see the frog in Caatinga and Cerrado places. Scientists have seen it in some places that people have changed, for example places where animals eat grass. Scientists saw the frog 600 meters above sea level.[1]
Young
The male frogs sit near dry streams and call to the female frogs from dead leaves on the ground. The frog builds a nest out of bubbles for its eggs.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings change the places where the frog lives to make towns and farms.[1]
