Pseudopaludicola pocoto is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives in Caatinga places in dry grassland, dry places with small, woody plants, and shallow bodies of water with grass. It can also live in places where cows eat grass. It is good at living in some places that human beings have changed.[1]
The frog's home is in or next to a few protected places: Estação Ecológica de Seridó, Parque Municipal da Serra das Almas, and Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Maurício Dantas.[1]
Young
The male frog sits near shallow, pools of water that are not there all year. He calls to the female frogs at dusk and at night. The tadpoles live near the edges of shallow ponds with only a few plants. They hide in the mud.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out.[1]
