The wrestler frog (Leptodactylus luctator) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Argentina.^[2][1]

These frogs live in many places. People have seen it in grassy places, dry places, forests, outside forests, ponds, lakes, and next to rivers. It is good at living in places that human beings have changed. People sometimes see it in gardens. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 1000 meters above sea level.^[1]

Scientists saw the frog in many protected places.^[1]

Sometimes human beings eat this frog.^[1]

The frog makes a nest out of bubbles for its eggs. The foam nest stays on the top of the water. After the tadpoles hatch, they swim together in groups.^[1]

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, frogs might be in danger when human beings cut down trees to get wood to build with or make farms. People also catch this frog to eat.^[1]
