Proceratophrys concavitympanum is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]

Home

The frog is awake at night. Scientists saw it in the dead leaves on the ground in rainforests.[1]

People have seen this frog in some protected parks, but these places are small.[1]

Young

The tadpoles swim in ponds and streams. Scientists think this frog has many young at the same time when it rains.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say the frog is not in danger of dying out right now, but it lives in a place that could change soon. Human beings cut down many trees in this part of the Amazon basin. Human beings cut down big pieces of forest to make farms, espeially farms for just one plant at a time, for example soybeans. They also make places for cows to eat grass.[1]
