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

Home

The frog lives in the dead leaves on the ground in rainforests. Scientists saw the frog between 50 and 800 meters above sea level.[1]

People have seen this frog in many protected parks.[1]

Young

The female frog puts eggs in streams with sand on the bottom. The tadpoles swim in the stream.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say the frog is in in a little danger of dying out. People have changed the places where the frogs live for more than one hundred years. People cut down trees to get wood and make farms, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
