Proceratophrys belzebul is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Body
The adult male frog is 40.5-51.3 mm long from nose to rear end.[4]
Home
This frog only lives in forests. Scientists saw it in the dead leaves on the ground in forests that were never cut down and forests that are growing back. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 1000 meters above sea level.[1]
Most of the frog's home is in protected parks. It lives near Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar and may live in it.[1]
Young
The tadpoles live in streams.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Most of its home is in protected parks. In other places, human beings change the places where the frog lives to make farms, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass. People used to cut down trees to get wood, but this does not happen much now.[1]
