Home
This frog lives near ponds in grassy places. People have seen them on farms and tree farms.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places: APA Corumbatai, Botucatu e Tejupa Perimetro Corumbatai, APA da Escarpa Devoniana (Campos Gerais), APA das Nascentes do Rio Vermelho, APA do Planalto Central, APA Morro da Pedreira, PARNA dos Campos Gerais, RPPN Bronzon, and RPPN Olavo Egydio Setubal.[1]
Young
This frog has young in bodies of water, including bodies of water that people have made. The male frogs float on the water and call to the feamel frogs. The adult frogs make a nest out of bubbles for the eggs. The nest floats on the water. The young hatch out of their eggs as tadpoles, not small froglets.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, these frogs might be in some danger from people changing the places where the frogs live to make farms, make places for animals to eat grass, and get wood to use.[1]
