Proceratophrys salvatori is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
Scientists saw the frog in high grassy places. It lives on the ground near water, for example in forests around streams and rivers. This frog may be awake at night. Scientists saw the frog between 100 and 1100 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists found the frog in some protected parks.[1]
Young
The tadpoles swim in streams that dry up for part of the year.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say the frog is not in danger of dying out. People turned the forest into places for animals to eat grass and then turned those places into soybean farms, sugar farms, and tree farms. Chemicals from these farms can also hurt this frog.[1]
