The Cuyaba dwarf frog (Physalaemus nattereri) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog lives underground. It lives in places that are dry but not too dry. It lives in Atlantic forest, Pantanal, and grassy places in the Cerrado places. People see it on the ground near water. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 1,500 m (0 and 4,921 ft) above sea level. [1]

Scientists have seen the frog in protected places and its home is in or near others: PA Corumbatai, Botucatu e Tejupa Perimetro Corumbatai, APA da Chapada dos Guimaraes, APA da Escarpa Devoniana (Campos Gerais), APA da Sub-Bacia do Rio Apore, APA das Nascentes do Rio Vermelho, APA Rio Batalha, ESEC dos Caetetus, ESEC Serra Geral do Tocantins, PARES do Morro do Diabo, PARNA dos Campos Gerais, RPPN Estancia Santa Ines, RPPN Fazenda Boqueirao, RPPN Fazenda Sao Jose, and RPPN Olavo Egydio Setubal.[1]

Young

The mall frogs call to the female frogs together.[1]

Uses

Human beings study the chemicals in the frogs' skin to see if they can kill small living things and stop pain.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings change the Cerrado where the frog lives to make farms, for example soybean-only farms and places for cows to eat grass. Scientists think this could hurt the frogs.[1]
