Physalaemus atlanticus is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult male frog is 20.1 22.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 21.0-23.9 mm long. Its belly is orange in color.[4]
Home
People see the frog on the dead leaves on the ground in rainforests that are not too far from the ocean. Scientists have seen this frog between 0 and 50 m (0 and 164 ft) above sea level.[1][2]
Most of the frog's home is inside a protected place: Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar.[1]
Young
This frog lays eggs in nests made out of bubbles in ponds. The nests float on the water or is on wet dead leaves.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. The frog lives in Serra do Mar, and there are large forests there. Only a few of the frogs are in danger. Human beings change the forests to make towns, farms, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
