Evangelista's foam froglet or Evangelista's dwarf frog (Physalaemus evangelistai) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
The frog lives only lives in dry grassy places with rocks in the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado places. People see it on the ground in places where the underground water is close to the top of the ground. It is not good at living in places that human beings have changed. Scientists have seen this frog between 800 and 1,500 m (2,600 and 4,900 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places: Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó, Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Santuário do Caraça, and Parque Estadual Rio Preto.[1]
Young
The frog has young in wet places with almost no trees. The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles that floats on top of the water. The tadpoles swim in the water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in a little danger of dying out. It can only live in campos rupestres, special places with the right amount of water in the air, so climate change can hurt the frog. Human beings changed many of the places where the frog lived to make places to raise cows and other animals. However, right now, human beings are not changing the ones that are still there.[1]
