Proceratophrys itamari is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult male frog is 31.1-42.5 mm long from nose to rear end, and the adult female frog 39.5-52.3 mm long.[4]
Name
Scientists named this frog for Professor Itamar Martins from the Universidade de Taubaté.[4]
Home
This frog lives in forests where the tree branches come together like a roof. Scientists saw it on the dead leaves on the ground near streams. Scientists saw the frog between 1200 and 2000 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists found the frog in a protected park, Parque Estadual de Campos de Jordão.[1]
Young
The tadpoles swim in streams, both streams that are streams all year and in streams that dry up.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger if of dying out. Human beings used to cut down trees to get wood and make farms, tree farms, and places for cows to eat grass, but this only happens in some places now.[1]
