Bokermann's dwarf frog (Physalaemus bokermanni) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
The frog lives in forests that were never cut down and forests that were cut down and are growing back. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground. Scientists have seen this frog about 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level.[1]
There is a protected place in the frog's home: Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar.[1]
Young
The male frog sits in water that dries up for part of the year and calls to the female frogs. The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs. This frog can have young in places where there are some tall trees, for example places where the forest is growing back or places where humans cut down only some trees, but it cannot have young in places where there are no tall trees at all.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in big danger of dying out. Humans used to humans cut down too many trees to collect wood to use during the twentieth century, but they do not do so much of this now. Some of the frogs may be in some danger when humans make towns bigger, make farms, make tree farms, and make places for animals to eat grass.[1]
