The Juliaca four-eyed frog (Pleurodema cinereum) is a frog. It lives in Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives on the ground. It lives in puna grassy places and in forests that have some trees that lose their leaves in the winter. This frog is good at living in places that people have changed. People have seen it on farms and in towns. Scientists have seen it between 600 and 4,200 m (2,000 and 13,800 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places, many in Bolivia and two in Argentina: Los Andes Provincial Reserve and Laguna Pozuelos National Park.[1]
Young
The male and female frogs make a nest out of bubbles for their eggs. The nests float in pools of water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out.[1]
