The canga swamp frog or dwarf swamp frog (Pseudopaludicola canga) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in Cerrado and Amazon places. People see it in savanna and other grassy places. Scientists have seen it 700 m (2,300 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in some protected places, for example Área de Proteção Ambiental da Foz do Rio das Preguiças-Pequenos Lencóis - Região Lagunar Adjacente and Floresta Nacional de Carajás.[1]
Young
Scientists believe the female frog puts eggs in pools of water and that 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, the frogs are in some danger when human beings change the places where it lives. People make farms, make towns, make places for animals to eat grass, and mine in the ground.[1]
