Proceratophrys sanctaritae is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]
Home
Scientists saw this frog in the dead leaves on the ground in forests. They found it in streams and far from water. Scientists saw the frog between 560 and 960 meters above sea level.[2][1]
Scientists found the frog in a protected park called Refúgio da Vida Silvestre de Amargosa.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say the frog is in danger of dying out. Human beings cut down many trees where the frog lived, and the ones that are left can be far apart from each other. People cut down trees to get wood and to make small farms for bananas, cacao, and other plants and places for animals to eat grass.[1]
