The Rio Grande dwarf frog (Physalaemus riograndensis) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in grassy places near water. Scientists have seen this frog between 0 and 500 m (0 and 1,640 ft) above sea level. People have seen it in rice paddies, gardens, and farms.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places, for example San Martin Reserve-Park, Entre Rios, El Bagual Reserve, Formosa, Parque Estadual Itapeva, and Reserva Biológica São Donato.[1]
Young
The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs and puts the nest on plants. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, not small froglets.[1]
