The Bahia dwarf frog (Physalaemus albifrons) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in Cerrado, Caatinga, and Restinga places. It does not live in forests. People see the frogs on the ground near ponds or in water. This frog is good at living in places that people have changed. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 1,100 m (0 and 3,609 ft) above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.[1]
Young
These frogs have young in small bodies of water that dry up for part of the year. The young hatch out of the eggs as tadpoles, not small froglets.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Some of the frogs may be in some danger when humans change the places where the frogs live to make places for animals to eat grass and by setting fires.[1]
