The Iporanga white-lipped frog (Leptodactylus notoaktites) is a frog. It lives in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in places with no trees and in places at the edges of forests. Scientists have seen the frog between 0 and 900 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in some protected places.[1]
Young
When it starts to rain, the male frog calls to the female frogs. The male frogs dig holes near shallow pools of water that dry up for part of the year. The female frog lays eggs in a nest made out of bubbles.[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 towns, farms, tree farms, and places for cows to eat grass. Climate change can also hurt this frog because it can make it rain less.[1]
