Rivero's white-lipped frog (Leptodactylus riveroi) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Scientists think it may also live in Peru.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog is awake at night. It lives on the ground. People see it in forests, next to rivers, and in swamps and gardens. Scientists have seen it between 90 and 450 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.[1]
Young
This frog makes 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 dig in the ground and this puts bad chemicals in the water that can hurt the frog.[1]
