Leptodactylus lauramiriamae is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
Young
Scientists think this frog has young the same way other frogs in Leptodactylus do: The frog makes a nest out of bubbles for its eggs in a hole in the ground or on a leaf over some water. After the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. Much of the forest near where they found the frog has been turned into farms and places for animals to eat grass, but there are very big forests nearby, and the frogs might be living in them.[1]
