The Bolivian swamp frog (Pseudopaludicola boliviana) is a frog. It lives in Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname, Brazil, Colombia, and Guyana.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog lives on the ground in many different kinds of places: Cerrado, Chiquitano forest, other forest, grassy places, swamps, and places where animals eat grass. It is good at living in places that human beings have changed. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 700 m (0 and 2,297 ft) above sea level.[1]

Scientists have seen these frogs in protected places.[1]

Food

These frogs eat many different things, and male and female frogs mostly eat the same things as each other. They eat beetles, flies, and ticks and mites.[4]

Amapá, Brazil

Young

This frog has young in ponds and grasslands with water in them. The female frog puts her eggs in the water, and the tadpoles swim in the water.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, some of the frogs may be in danger from fires, farms, people cutting down trees, bad chemicals, and other things humans need and do.[1]
