Peter's four-eyed frog (Pleurodema diplolister) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog likes to go underground or bury itself in the sand.[3] It lives in grassy places and places with small woody plants in Caatinga and Cerrado places and near sand dunes near the ocean. People also see the frog in places where animals eat grass, so it may be good at living in places that human beings have changed. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 750 m (0 and 2,461 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.[1]
Young
This frog has many young at the same time in pools of water. The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs. The tadpoles grow quickly.[3][1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, it might be in some danger from people changing the places where it lives.[1]
