The Minas swamp frog (Pseudopaludicola mineira) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in Cerrado savanna and places with small, woody plants. Inside these places, it lives in marshes, pools, and places where water comes up out of the ground. It is good at living in places that people have changed. Scientists have seen it between 800 and 1,600 m (2,600 and 5,200 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in some protected places, for example Serra do Cipó National Park. Scientists think it could also live in Parque Estadual do Rio Preto and Parque Nacional das Sempre-Vivas.[1]
Young
The female frog puts eggs in water that does not move. The tadpoles swim in the water.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Because it lives high in the hills and mountains, human beings do not come to its home much. Lower down, people raise animals that eat grass, but the frogs are good at living in places that people have changed for this.[1]
