Spix's white-lipped frog (Leptodactylus pascoensis) is a frog. It lives in Peru.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives on the east side of the Andes mountains.[2] The frog lives on the ground in forests. Scientists have seen the frog between 780 and 2500 meters above sea level.[2]
Scientists have seen the frog in at least one part of the Oxapampa-Asháninka-Yánesha Biosphere Reserve: Yanesha Communal Reserve. They think it might also live in El Sira Communal Reserve, Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemillén, and Bosque de Protección San Matias San Carlos.[1]
Young
Scientists think this frog makes a nest made out of bubbles for its eggs.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know if the frog is in danger of dying out. Some of the places where the saw the frog are protected, so the frogs that live there are probably safe. Human beings have changed many other places nearby to make farms and places for animals to eat grass. In some places, human beings cut down many trees in the protected places even though this is against the law. People may also dig in the ground for oil soon.[1]
