The Zapahuira water frog or Arico water frog (Telmatobius pefauri) is a frog. It lives in Chile.[2][3][1]
Home
Scientists found this frog in one place, a stream high in the mountains. This frog spends almost all of its time in water. The scientists saw the frog 2700 meters above sea level.[1][2]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very danger of dying out and may already be all dead now. Human beings take water from the streams where the frogs lived to drink and give to cows. Scientists only ever found one frog and could not find another.[1]
