The Goias swamp frog (Pseudopaludicola ternetzi) is a frog. It lives in Paraguay and Brazil.^[2][3][1]

This frog lives palm swamps, places where water comes up out of the ground, marshes, pools, and in the parts of Cerrado places that have water in the air. This frog is good at living in places that human beings have changed. It can live in places where animals eat grass, parks, gardens, and places where water goes to farms. Scientists have seen it between 400 and 1,200 m (1,300 and 3,900 ft) above sea level.^[1]

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

The female frog puts eggs in water that does not move. The tadpoles swim in the water.^[1]

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, dams, and farms.^[1]
