Physalaemus irroratus is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
Scientists found this frog in forests that are growing back. Scientists have seen this frog about 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in a protected place, Refúgio Estadual De Vida Silvestre Mata Dos Muriquis. They think it could also live in Parque Estadual Alto Do Cariri and Parque Nacional Do Alto Cariri.[1]
Young
The male frogs sit near ponds or the edges of forests and call to the female frogs. This frog lays eggs in nests made out of bubbles. The nests float on the water. The tadpoles swim in the water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say they do not know if the frog is in danger of dying out. The scientists found the frog on a farm with protected parks near it. There is a big forest in this place. There is more forest growing back. Further away, though, human beings cut down too many trees to make farms and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
