The Girard's dwarf frog or Otavio's robber frog (Physalaemus signifer) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.^[2][3][1]

This frog lives in forests that were never cut down and forests that are growing back, but it cannot live anywhere that is not a forest. It lives in flooded places and in and near ponds inside and at the edges of forests. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 1,200 m (0 and 3,937 ft) above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.^[1]

These frogs have young in ponds and in the mud or dead leaves on the ground next to ponds. The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs. The tadpoles swim in the ponds.^[1]

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings change the forests where the frog lives to make towns, big farms, small farms, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass.^[1]
